"I just wonder how many people pick it up to be titillated and find just a wee bit of that sort of thing."

That makes me wonder how many people do that maybe because the book is from a big publisher and "credible" and "respectable" so that they either feel okay about grabbing it for that reason or(/and) feel like they can reasonably hide that that&

Donna, it's so funny that you've posted this now - I just started reading BONK this week! (It's the book I've been taking to the gym.)

I'm only on the 5th chapter or so, but I'm finding it very entertaining and interesting. Sure, there are a few moments where Roach seems a bit repressed and the commentary seems a little corny, but, overall I'm really
