Sex Science Books and Other Odd Bits You Need for Summer Fun

by Suzie Heumann @ 8:03 pm. Filed under Bonk, books, Science of Sex, sex positions
A while back I read Mary Roach’s Bonk. She’s a journalist who writes about interesting subjects with odd twists and a great sense of dry humor. Bonk is her third book and is about, well, bonking. In one of the chapters she discusses going to Europe with her husband and getting into an imaging machine that takes images of their interiors as they ‘bonk’. Yes, how the lingam meets and greets the yoni! There are a myriad of possibilities! More…

My Funny Valentine

Posted February 15, 2009 11:59 PM

After she woke up, a woman told her husband, "I just dreamed that you gave me a pearl necklace for Valentine's day. What do you think it means?" "You'll know tonight." he said. That evening, the man came home with a small package and gave it to his wife. Delighted, she opened it - to find a book entitled "The Meaning of Dreams." Read more...

Breakfast, Lunch, Tea

Posted January 18, 2009 11:13 PM

If I were in Paris now, you could find me having lunch at Rose Bakery, 46 rue des Martyrs. It's my favorite restaurant in Paris -- and I've never been there. But I have Rose Carrarini's book, Breakfast, Lunch, Tea and it conveys so much of the spirit of her establishment that I know I'd love to be at Rose Bakery -- not just for her food, but for the ambience, the people who work there, the Read more...

Chew on New Pet Books of All Stripes

Posted December 30, 2008 10:35 AM

They know their best buddies can be naughty (wrecking the sofa -- again). Or their best buddies can be nice (volunteering to be a sickbed foot warmer). But pet owners can't resist pet books, no matter how their furry or feathered friends have behaved during the past year. Here's a sample of some of the best books for animal lovers this season: "Hip-Hop for Dogs" by Janet Perr; Read more...

Holiday Gift Guide 2008

Posted December 2, 2008 11:07 AM

Wearing Wall Street pinstripes, The Cat in the Hat showed up in mid-September. His timing couldn't have been worse: He wrecked the joint just as our credit cards were redlining. Now we've got this awful mess to clean up -- and holiday giving to confront. I refuse to contribute to the gloom by suggesting that you scribble gift cards for free backrubs to your loved ones. I say: Rise above Read more...

Water Consciousness

Posted October 23, 2008 12:06 PM

In the middle of September of 2008, as the Senate of the United States was pondering an energy bill, all 100 Senators were invited to speak at a Bipartisan Energy Summit. With a national election less than two months away, you may imagine the posturing. But you might not have anticipated this minute-long question. [Watch it here.] Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Sheldon Whitehouse, Senator Read more...

Welcome to the Book Club

Started by Perez000 on June 25, 2008 12:41 PM

Welcome Friend, Do you love to curl up with a good book? I hope so, because you've found the perfect place to share everything you enjoy about reading : the wonderful stories, the stunning wordplay, the laugh-out-loud comedy, and the pee-in-your-pants thrills that only a real, live book can offer. (Do I sound prejudiced?) Unlike the book club of a certain lady whose name begins with "O," our cozy group doesn't limit you to one book at a time. In fact, the more discussions, the better. Whatever your taste -- Jane Austin, Steven King, David McCullough, David Sedaris, the Left Behind series, you name it! -- you are welcome to post a pointed review, ask a question, respond to an outrage, or just browse the stacks for a good read. Thanks for stopping in,

Posted August 27, 2007 3:45 PM

Hitler had occupied Austria when Viktor Frankl, a young Viennese psychiatrist and writer, learned that the United States had approved his request to immigrate. His parents were overjoyed -- their son would escape the Nazis, go off to America, and continue his brilliant work. Frankl was feeling guilty about leaving his parents when he noticed a piece of marble on a table at home. What Read more...
