I want weird math textbooks. Group theory textbooks in the style of a comic book. Real analysis textbooks written as a long dialogue between forest animals. Elaborate romantic fan fictions about the relationships between Lie groups and their corresponding Lie algebras.
Have you read Surreal Numbers: How Two Ex-Students Turned On to Pure Mathematics and Found Total Happiness? It's an introduction to the concept of surreal numbers told through a conversation between two people coming up with the theory together while hanging out at the beach. I borrowed it from my uni library purely for fun (it had nothing to do with any of my actual modules) and it made an interesting change from straight-forward textbooks.

That said, I want to do the fanfic one now. The relationship between a graph and its Aut() group is yuri.
Too little mathematics has been written in prose. Thus we prove here, via a fantasy novellette, that a locally L-bilipschitz mapping $f \col
I would like to direct you to this paper, which is about fractal geometry and is written as a story about a dwarven map maker.
