The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules our Lives by Leonard Mlodinow

An interesting, easily-read discussion of probability. He talks quite a bit about psychology of risk and misuse of probability. His critique of determinism is clear and concise and convincing. It is a practical criticism that makes sense. Of many books I have read on probability, it is second only to The Lady Tasting Tea.
