I just finished reading the biography of Milton Friedman by Jennifer Burns, which came out last year. It is great. The reader is taken through not only the life of one of the great economists of the 20th century, but also the economic and political events that surrounded and motivated him. If you are looking for a nerdy economist beach read, I highly recommend it.
