The Big Short. If you have even a passing interest in why the economy started melting down in 2007, this is a very approachable book that's smart but doesn't make you learn an entire new language or new form of math to understand the issues. He explains some of the terms used by the folks responsible. It might also change your perspective on who the bad guys were (note, it's not the guys that made money off the crash or AIG). It's a 10/10 for me.
