I personally think my most profound learning experience
was the math class taught from "Introduction to Real
Analysis" by Bartle.  I'm still amazed at the beauty
and elegance of the material and even the font and
layout of the book.

My sister took the same course and hated it.  She was
more into algebra and topology than analysis.  OTOH,
I could never figure out algebra.

I'm told by some the works of Faulkner, Joyce and
Hemmingway are also both profound and enjoyable.

Guess I'm missing out on a lot.
