If you like a little fiction with your non-fiction, this book is for you. In The Social Animal, New York Times columnist David Brooks weaves the story of Harold and Erica, two fascinating, yet achingly normal, people with intertwined fates. This is not your average boy-meets-girl tale, however. The book is jam packed with sociological, cultural, and economical studies and their findings. Brooks keeps the mammoth amount of research from becoming overwhelming by writing in a coversational tone and grounding the work in a relatable and very human story. OEO
