You can always have a look at Cambridge, Oxford and Imperial's reading lists posted on their website. However, if you're looking for something more original;

Two books I quite liked were:

The Art of the Infinite: Our Lost Language of Numbers
By Robert Kaplan

What Is Mathematics?: An Elementary Approach to Ideas and Methods
By Richard Courant

For some strange reason I don't think I've ever read any of the books on any standard mathematics reading list. Of popular maths books, I have read:

* Fermat's Last Theorem, by Simon Singh
* The Equation that couldn't be Solved, by Mario Livio
* Kepler's Conjecture, by George Szpiro
* Poincaré's Prize, by George Szpiro
* Four Colors Suffice, by Robin Wilson

I do, however, have Chaos by James Gleick, but I never finished reading it. For some reason it was not as interesting.
