What is a good follow-up to Stillwell's Four Pillars of Geometry?
Also Algebraic Geometry/ Topology sounds fun -- are there any good undergrad books on that?

So from that link is Ideals, Varieties and Algorithms by Cox, Litle and O'Shea, Miles Reid's Undergraduate Algebraic Geometry, or Bertrametti's Lectures on Curves, Surfaces and Projective Varieties a good follow-up to Stillwell's book (and Algebra at the level of Dummit and Foote)? – user158118 Jun 20 '14 at 01:28

From the intro to Reid's book, I don't think I have the requisite algebra, yet. Is there a good geometry book I can look into now that I have the basics from Stillwell down? – user158118 Jun 20 '14 at 03:13

You should ask more specific questions, but: Reid & Szendroi's Geometry & Topology you might now enjoy; Hilbert & Cohn-Vossen, Geometry and the Imagination; chapter 3 in Mathematics: Its Content, Methods & Meaning... – Marius Kempe Jun 22 '14 at 14:49
