    The Armchair Economist (Steven Landsburg, Free Press). A bit over the top
    for those with liberal leanings, but Landsburg does a superb job of hitting
    the intuitions of economics without using a single graph or equation.

    Also try Eat the Rich (P.J. O'Rourke). O'Rourke (not an economist) travels
    the world attempting to answer the question of why some countries are rich
    and others are poor.

    Colleagues,

    A bright, enthusiastic student who has just completed introductory
    economics comes up to you, the professor, and asks you to recommend an
    economics book (or books) for reading over the summer. What do you
    suggest?

    Thanks,
