Book suggestions
I recently finished reading Freefall by Joseph Stiglitz, which I think is an interesting book that makes some good arguments. So far this is the only book concerning economics that I've read, and I'm looking for some more books about economics to read.
So, do you fellas have any suggestions of good books about economics that I could read?

PJ O'Rourke's "On the Wealth of Nations (Books that changed the world)". Great overview of Adam Smith's book with plenty of wit and humor.

Freakonomics and SuperFreakonomics or you could listen to the podcasts from the Freako website:
Not that they are looking at economics in the standard sense. . . Podcasts I recommend
