I recently read:

Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin.

It's essentially a history of the human body (I think that's even the subtitle) and describes lots of odd little evolutionary vestiges of our ancestory (e.g. why we get hernias, why we hiccup, how the bones of the face develop, etc.)

Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl.

I read this a couple years ago and loved it. I read it last weekend twice in two sittings. Just do yourself a favor and go read it.

The Drunkard's Walk by Leonard Mlodinow.

About making all those weird, counter-intuitive facts from probability intuitive again. Focused mainly on how and why people misuse probability and statistics, not really on developing any theory. Still pretty good.

The Stranger by Albert Camus.

Amazing. It's short enough to easily read in a day, and I totally recommend it to anyone out there.
