December 2010: Mary Roach: Bonk - The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex

[Libra]

Discussion starts December 1st.

 

[Libra]

Did anyone else read it?

 

[eldog]

Sure did.

Gotta admit that I thought considering the subject matter, it was a little boring.

I think it needed more anecdotes...

Just my 2 cents...!

 

[Anamnesis]

I'm gonna start it soon. Just need to finish my current read . . .

 

[Libra]

I learned alot and laughed alot.

What did I learn:
The reason why panda's are becoming slowly extinct.

What did I laugh at:
Her husbands participation.:lol:

That's just off the top of my head.

I think she did an excellent job merging this subject with the science part.

A fun read, but I think Stiff was better. The opening chapter(s) in this book were hard to get through. Some details I wish I could forget, notably Kinsey's toothbrush activities. Ouch!

Cool! Other than a chapter or two towards the end, it's really not that gross or creepy.
