'Things...' is pretty damn amazing so far. Believe the hype.

I also read 'Found : The Best Lost, Tossed, and Forgotten Items from Around the World' & 'PostSecret : Extraordinary Confessions from Ordinary Lives', which were fun. I tended to enjoy the Found book in more of a 'tee-hee' voyeuristic kind of way, but Postsecret sort of made me stop and consider the greater psychological/philosophical implications. Pretty fascinating stuff in both those books though, I recommend them.
