If you are in college, then you should check out your school's library. Mine has all sorts of foreign-language textbooks, particularly in the sciences (including math).

I like Pontriaguin's book. I have bought a couple of them in www.ozon.ru
I particularly like this:
"Algebra" http://www.ozon.ru/context/detail/id/2156699/
An elementary account about vector spaces (also includes a chapter on Jordan form!)
"Differential equations and their applications" http://www.ozon.ru/context/detail/id/2156697/
Ordinary differential equations

You can try to find some of this books in djvu format

A friend pointed me to lib.org.by yesterday. I have no idea how he found it, as he's not technical and doesn't speak Russian, but nonetheless, it's an incredible site.

I'm most interested, by far, in elementary material about abstract algebra, group theory, category theory, and similar, but anything approachable by someone with "high school" math would be welcomed - including, but not limited to, relatively elementary material on linear algebra, calculus, and measure theory.

Could I ask you, what language you are looking for and what you want use them for?
In my view I would recommend:
"A course of higher mathematics" / V.I. Smirnov ; translated by D.E. Brown ; translation edited and additions made by I.N. Sneddon.
   Oxford ; New York : Pergamon Press, 1964
   It is a five volume set, but you will need only I and II. The set is very comprehensive with a lot of good topics, that are not in the newer textbooks.
Or anything by Smirnov, he writes very clear on a subject.

Excellent, that sounds interesting; I'll look into it.

As for what language: in theory, any language could be ok (for a sufficiently good math book, I'd be willing to try to learn a new one); in practice, Indo-European ones with a decent amount of materials are easiest for me at present. I've mainly done math through English, though I have used Italian and Esperanto too.

As for why: a combination of fundamental curiosity and desire for understanding, and because I notice a strong correlation between mathematical knowledge and the ability to do research I consider worthwhile in my field.

You can start here:
http://www.rapidmaniac.com/search/relevant/All/a-course-of-h igher-mathematics
and here:
http://www.4shared.com/account/file/nbsGLP5y/A_Course_of_Hig her_Mathematics.html
and all this more than enough, for those who are not a professional mathematician, I think.
