"Sun Tzu's The Art of War."
You'll probably have money left over for a book or two.
Henry petroski spins a good yarn on engineering philosophy too.
Check out "The Pencil" or "The evolution of useful things". They're interesting if you're interested in design.
I would also recommend "How To Solve It" by george polya for the problem solving math junkie in you.
All could probably be acquired for less than fifty dollars.
Buying books is exciting!
