> Basic Economics, by Thomas Sowell. My dad got it for me, for my birthday, and I've been loving it. It has no graphs, jargon, or equations... just straight economic theory, well-reasoned and well thought out.

Graphs and equations are precisely the things that I liked about studying economics (well, microeconomics at least). Actually, I think just about all subjects could be made more interesting with spiffy graphical displays. Maybe I'm more of a visual learner than a textual learner.
