Gang Leader for a Day by Sudhir Venkatesh - he's a sociologist. The experience he talks about in the Chicago suburbs was actually the subject of a chapter in Freakonomics, if you've heard of that.

Quite a good read if you're interested in culture and social issues.

i could argue that reading a book that tells you what all your life decisions will be is really the one for babies.

There is brand new novel, from what I understand, with a deaf character (fictional) called The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski. Maybe you have heard something about it. If so, tell us about it.
