Good you guys recommend me any good books that are able to explain micro/macroeconomic concepts very clearly, and can serve as alternatives to reading boring unclear textbooks?

The problem with doing this is that most books written on economics that aren't textbooks have a definite slant to them and unless you understand what that slant is and can clearly and easily see past it, you are liable to receive a great deal of misinformation.

Even textbooks can have biases, but it's usually not as bad (and in general, the more mathematically driven the book, the less bias you will find -- usually).
Even though this Proleague bullshit has been completely bogus, I really, really, really do not see how Khan can lose this. I swear I will kill myself if they do. - nesix before KHAN lost to eNature

No book can be a substitiute for a class lecture by a passionate proffessor, who's really good in his field. If you really want to learn economics that is. If you just want to have some fun reading, read freakonomics or something.

Some people I know recommend New Ideas from Dead Economists, but I haven't read it myself.
May your sky be always clear, may your smile be always bright, and may you be forever blessed for that moment of happiness which you gave to another lonely and grateful heart!

I'm aware of all the flaws that come with this request, but I'm looking for books that explain economic principles, and I don't care if there is bias, as long as I can understand it I'm fine.

You could try "principles of economics" by mankiw. it's still a textbook but really easy to understand and doesn't read much like a textbook.

N. Gregory Mankiw (2006). Principles of Economics, 4th Edition. South-Western College Pub. ISBN 0324224729.

This is a book that we are using. It's "textbook" but it's kinda fun to learn from it. I can definitely recommend it, every concept is discussed clearly without any confusion
