Looking for a good book but something that is maybe more theoretical or by a well known economist rather than something historical. Thanks.

A relatively easy read that is theoretical and captivating that I would recommend is "Betterness: Economics for Humans" by Umair Haque of the Harvard Business Review. I find it well-written and intriguing, I hope this helps!
Thanks I'll take a look at it.
Have you tried Advances in Economics and Econometrics: Theory and Applications by David M. Kreps?
For leisure reading or to actually learn something? :p For actually learning, get Hayashi's Econometrics -- people swear by that book.
