Book Recommendations

My friend Ron Cronovich asks:

I wonder if you might consider having an item that asks your readers what books they think would be excellent for economics students to read. Perhaps each reader with a good recommendation could offer a paragraph or so about the book and why they think it's an excellent read for students.

Please post your suggestions in the comments section.

By the way, I am pretty sure that Ron is not referring to textbooks: Everyone knows which one of those to pick.
