I picked up Mr. Singh's book (Fermat's Enigma) at a yard sale quite a few years ago, and found it to be a good read.
If this sort of thing is up your alley, two other similar books I've read:
Music of the Primes: http://www.amazon.com/Music-Primes-Searching-Greatest-Mathem...
The Rainbow of Mathematics: http://www.amazon.com/Rainbow-Mathematics-History-Mathematic...
