Freakonomics
There are lots of reviews out there for the book, mostly positive. I liked it too, and it was a quick and interesting read. It is a summary of some of the interesting research carried out by the author, a University of Chicago professor (I think). I was a bit surprised that this is all classified as Economics - it seemed like journalism or sociology, but mostly it's some cool data mining/statistical analysis of the beer/diapers type.
