I recently finished "Naked Economics," by Charles Wheelan, and I dug it. Economics and its theories don't usually bring to mind words like "excitement" or "fun", so this guy tries to explain some of its theories through events in human history. Very interesting... For example, he would start out by describing a time or people in history and something interesting that happened over time; then would explain exactly what happened from the point of view of the economist...
Economics are at the heart and soul of human existence. As societies develop and evolve, there is a science that dictates how fast they can grow/develop in a healthy and non-destructive way (i.e. market regulations, etc.). I will definitely follow this one up with "Freakonomics" and "Undercover Economist."

When I read the title of your post and viewed the picture I thought that perhaps it was about a really really nerdy porno mag...
I was relieved to learn that you have not become a deviant numerologist...
On a side note, "Freakonomics" (which you mentioned) & "The Tipping Point" are great books on a similar topic and at least one of those doesn't have a promiscuous title...
