    I picked up an ancient differential equations textbook to fill in the big gaps in my diffeq knowledge.

What's the name of the book? I'm working through Trench right now but I could use some more inspiration.

It's "Elements of Ordinary Differential Equations" by Golomb and Shanks. Published by McGraw-Hill in 1950!

I picked it up out of a pile of free textbooks, so I can't swear to it's superiority over other texts. The first couple chapters have been as enjoyable as a diffeq book can be, though!
