I just finished up <i>Modern Romance</i> by Aziz Ansari -- which, while not groundbreaking, was supremely interesting and readable.  If you like Aziz&#x27;s standup, it&#x27;s basically him playing sociologist for 200 pages.<p>Right now I&#x27;m going back and forth between <i>Black Hat Python</i> (because I owe it to myself to at least learn a little bit of this stuff) and <i>What We Talk About When We Talk About Love</i> by Carver.  Two totally separate ends of the spectrum, but they&#x27;re both great.
