Games of Strategy by Dixit and Skeath is an excellent intro textbook. It requires some mathematical literacy though (game theory is mostly math).

If you just want a light book for the layman, the Dan Ariely's Predictably Irrational is good.

the usual introduction is "a primer in game threory" by gibbons

I was a math major in college but I don't really want to sit down and work through proofs or anything.

Look up a syllabus from a respectable university’s intro class, and get whatever textbook they use.
