Bonk / Mary Roach

Bonk: the Curious Coupling of Science and Sex by Mary Roach. 319 p.

I really liked Mary Roach's book Stiff when I read it a few years ago--she writes very clearly about science and medicine for the layman, and she's ridiculously funny. So how could I not love her book about sex? I learned some really interesting stuff about scientific research on human sexuality, but of course the amusing anecdotes are what stick in the mind. My biggest problem with the book is that approximately every 2 pages there's something so funny and/or interesting that I have an overwhelming need to share it with someone else, and there's not always someone around. (I did draw the line at making my waiter/waitress listen.)
