"Caring for Your Introvert"
I found Jonathan Rauch's style in writing "Caring for Your Introvert" both amusing and effective. He organizes the piece as an informal how-to guide, and speaks on behalf of all introverts. While he does manage to incorporate research, he doesn't repeatedly bash you over the head with facts and figures, rather he quotes sparingly and mostly allows his own personal voice to come through. I also enjoyed the author's semi-tongue-in-cheek allusions, including his introduction of himself as an introvert, which he states in the language of a twelve-step program. Rauch retains a clear sense of pride in his introverted nature, which makes him the perfect representative for what he claims is such a misrepresented minority. His bold-typed questions give the work a clear structure, and correspond well with his theme of educating the masses on how to better deal with the introvert population.
