What are some of the best Geometry texts out there?
I am not necessarily talking about upper level geometry, as It is out of my reach (things like algebraic, topology, manifolds, etc).
I am looking for things more like Pic related.
Been studying a Planimetry book that goes through the very foundations. And was thinking of giving a somewhat quick read through the elements.
What others books do you guys recommend?
Is Descartes "La Geometrie" any good?

Geometry: Euclid and Beyond by Hartshorne seems pretty good.
Euclid's axioms are actually missing several things that Euclid implicitly assumes (see Hilbert's axioms), but it could be cool to read out of historical interest.

You're probably reading both of Kiselev's books. Keep doing that. You could do Coxeter or also read Euclid in addition to Hartshorne's guidance. That should suffice in addition to your current pic-related collection for your lower level geometry needs.
