Readings

For hyperbolic geometry, you can start by reading  some  of 1. and then some of 2. (and repeat 1,2,1,2...)


For topology in dimension three (which depends very much on hyperbolic geometry), start reading 5.  Afterward (possibly much later depending on your knowledge of topology) read some of 3. then some of 4.; and again (3,4,3,4..) back and forth.
