Paul Erdos
I got a collection of Paul Erdos' papers called 'The Art of Counting' from the library. I looked at it for a while when I was in New Jersey at Rutgers but I didn't appreciate it. Every paper in it is revolutionary and it tops 500 pages. I am reading an ingenius alternate proof of Ramsey's theorem I've never seen before. It gives upper bounds on a finite version literally thousands of orders of magnitudes better than the original. If this means nothing to you, read previous as: Erdos was THE BEST.
