Coase's book The Nature of the Firm, which I read for some reason for pleasure while I was in grad school for a completely unrelated subject, stands out to me as one of the most elegant, lucidly-thought and well-presented books I've ever encountered. I'm not particularly a fan of the market-worshiping policy aims in service of which Coase's work was (ab?)used, but he's well worth reading as an exemplar for anyone whose job is to turn mental constructs into plain text.
