Books to read for intuition rather than precision.

When I need a precise definition or formulation, I go to Spivak for DG
and Wald for GR. But when I need a good intuitive explanation, I reach
for Burke's Applied Differential Geometry or MTW, respectively.
What are your favorite books for an intuitive approach at an advanced
level in these and other branches of mathematics and physics?
