A good reference to begin analytic number theory I know a little bit about basic number theory, much about algebra/analysis, I've read most of Niven & Zuckerman's "Introduction to the theory of numbers" (first 5 chapters), but nothing about analytic number theory. I'd like to know if there would be a book that I could find (or notes from a teacher online) that would introduce me to analytic number theory's classical results. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the tips,

*If you haven't read the chapter on Dirichlet's theorem on primes in arithmetic proression in Serre's Course in arithmetic, I highly recommend that you do.
You can read it independently of what came before.


*I liked the book of Ayoub when I was a student.  My memory is that it is somewhere between a textbook and a monograph, and that it covers lots of fundamental topics, such as partitions, Dirichlet's theorem, the circle method, and so on.   I found it compelling enough that I failed an English course because I spent all my time reading the book instead of writing the required essay.
