Economics Books

Can anyone recommend any good economics books to read while I study for my A-level? I mean proper books as opposed to regular textbooks...anything that'll help give me a wider understanding of the subject?

Thanks!

I’m currently reading ‘Economics: A User’s Guide’ by Ha-Joon Chang which I’m really enjoying. It’s basically an overview of the subject as whole, I haven’t studied Economics previously so I’m trying to build a reasonable foundation before I start Business School in September.

I’ve also heard ‘Freakonomics’ mentioned fairly regularly as one of the more well known books on the subject.

I’m currently reading Thomas piketty and am also going alevel economics, as level. I imagine many concepts are based on things we don’t know. But the simple foundation theories are there
