Book on “topology ” for starters

Question

This semester I have a course on topology. I'd like you to recommend me some books.

Answer 1

Munkres is the best to start in my opinion. Afterwards you can move on to Hatcher.

Answer 2

If "topology" means "general topology", I strongly recommend General Topology by Ryszard Engelking. It is the deepest monograph in this area I have ever met. It starts from zero and leads to the problems of contemporary topology (up to year of origin of the book).
