Robert Sullivan's
Rats was fascinating and creepy at the same time. The author spent a year observing rats in New York, talking to exterminators, and learning some of the city's history. I've never seen Rats anywhere I've ever lived, but did see a couple outside while I was in DC. Perhaps I've just never looked. Seeing Ratatouille last week didn't actually influence my decision to read this book now, but the book was definitely a reminder that wild rats aren't something you'd want in your kitchen.
