    I like this site of Mathematicians' biographies with some occasional quoted segments for extra flavor.

    I also like how Serre wrote a book on linear representations of symmetry groups, because his wife needed a good exposition of the subject for her work on quantum chemistry, and that Serre described that as "fullfiling his duty as a husband" :-P
