The Undercover Economist

I picked this book by Tim Harford up a while ago, and have been reading it on-off.  But I finally finished reading it recently.  It was reasonably interesting to read, because it touched upon the economic principles behind everyday things.   For example, why does your coffee cost this much?  And why is there this huge gap between rich and poor countries?  I have heard that his Logic of Life book is more interesting, so I may read that next.
