A friend of mine, who is a high school math teacher and majored in math in college, recently asked me for a good book to read on Abstract Algebra (presumably, group theory). She is looking for something to read semi-casually, so no serious textbooks which hide intuition.
My own education largely skipped the basics. I read through Pinter in the library one afternoon, and that was pretty much it. So, can people recommend a good book on abstract algebra/groups for the casual learner?

"A Book on Abstract Algebra" by Charles Pinter is a great book for the casual reader. It's an easy read yet maintains rigour throughout all of the topics discussed.
