Good book for algebra after Herstein? What is a good book to read after herstein's topics in algebra?
I've read in reviews somewhere that it's a bit shallow...
The main interests are algebraic and differential geometry. I prefer books with challenging excersices.
Something that crossed my mind: prehaps
 it's preferable that I should learn different topics from different books? 

One of my favourite texts for mid-level algebra is Dummit and Foote's $\textit{Abstract Algebra}$. Another good text is Eisenbud's $\textit{Commutative Algebra (With a View Towards Algebraic Geometry)}$. This book is more of a graduate level text book.
