So I definitely went through a "pop econ" phase too. This book is written by an econ professor from the University of Chicago and a journalist. They share statistics on some strange things that no one would have thought was related and the results and crazy.
Some topics include: the economics of drug dealing and the effect legalized abortion has had on reducing crime rates.
It is a really interesting read, and if you read this one and can't get enough, there is a sequel called Superfreakonomics which has even more crazy statistics.
