2008, W. W. Norton & Co.
Why read: Heard great things about Roach's writing.
What impressed me: I'm always fearful that non-fiction books like this will be dry. Mary Roach's writing is far from dry, keeping a fun topic serious, yet entertaining. She asks questions we wouldn't even think of, getting to the bottom of a variety of myths and preconceived notions about sex. Highly educational, but manages to remain light throughout.
What disappointed me: Not a thing.
Recommended: Absolutely. This is an entertaining version of sex ed. for adults and I would make this required reading if I could.
