Hidden Order
These two books will save you a lot of time and effort trying to piece together economic thinking yourself:
Hidden Order: The Economics of Everyday Life by David Friedman
The Armchair Economist: Economics and Everyday Life by Steve Landsburg (used copies available for $4)
If you read one (or both) of those, even Econ topics that weren't addressed at all in them should make a lot more sense. Most of Econ is in applying a framework of thought to a problem. Once you get that down, most of the rest is actually fun.
I actually haven't read Shoup's whole book about parking. I learned of this concept from a book I read back in the 90's (kind of an early "Freakonomics" type book popularizing economic thought). I think the economics of "free parking" is a favorite example in all econ 101 classes though.
Depends how technical you want to get. This has the best approachable/technical ratio I've seen.
