Chapter One Hundred Eighty-Two: What the Dog Saw

This collection of Malcom Gladwell's essays for The New Yorker brings together some of the bestselling nonfiction author's favorite short pieces, ranging across topics as diverse as women's health, the Dog Whisperer, the history of hair dye in the United States, and ketchup (a more involved subject than you might at first suspect).  Whatever the topic, Gladwell was always able to gain and sustain my interest, and I picked up plenty of trivia factoids along the way.  (Did you know ketchup is so satisfying because it invokes all five major flavor groups?)  If you like short nonfiction, I'd highly recommend What the Dog Saw.
