I got a book called Freakonomics by Steven Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner for Christmas. It was wicked. The authors take some pretty simple questions - about the real world, not questions that are really only of interest to a few academics in an ivory tower - and apply some basic principles of economics to them to come up with some pretty unconventional answers. They have an interesting way of approaching the world.
It kind of reminds me of The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell.
