Just finished the audiobook Surfaces and Essences by Douglas Hofstadter and some French guy. I really liked it, but it gets samey at certain points and my advice is that once you feel like they're not really talking about anything new, there's no reason not to move on to another book. You won't be missing much once you understand the basic premise and the range of examples.

Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari is pretty good so far. Light-hearted but also contains real research that I did not expect, and looks at some stark sociological differences between relationships now and relationships in, say, the 50s. Learning more than I thought I would and I'm barely a quarter of the way through.

I have Life Unfolding on hiatus, and my parents thought it was boring, but I think it's really interesting.
