Freakonomics
By Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner

This book tries to answer a weird set of questions that range from what motivates people to join crack gangs to the possible effect of Roe v. Wade on crime rates. The book offers a fresh take on economic lessons that even someone who doesn't like charts can appreciate.
