[Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants]

I was interested to read this based on its popularity, though once I got my hands on it I was a bit disappointed. The premise is good (David beats Goliath, showing the perceived advantages are not always true advantages, followed by real world examples) but I was never captured by the book's content. Once I was halfway through I finished just to say I'd done it. A few good tidbits here and there, but it isn't nonfiction I'd recommend unless the person had an interest in the specific examples he provides (the impact on class size on achievement, for example).
