Yes, a million times! Journey through Genius is an excellent book (I, too, had this book for a History of Math class). It's really appropriate for people of all different levels of mathematical maturity. It's aimed to be read by a pretty much lay audience. But it covers some interesting t material that you're likely not to have seen in an undergraduate curriculum (Heron's formula, cubic/quartic equations, Euler's windmill proof).
