Even for professional mathematics (source: professors of mine who specialized in mathematical logic). BLL includes several categories on logic, though, which include classics by Kleene, Curry, etc. For instance, "Foundations of mathematics" [1], "Philosophy of mathematics" [2], and "Model theory" [3] [1] https://www.maa.org/press/maa-reviews/browse?field_tags_tid=37046&field_bll_rating_tid=All&field_maa_review_value=All https://www.maa.org/press/maa-reviews/browse?field_tags_tid=...
