I'm not usually big on cookbooks. I hate following recipes. They always seem so complicated. This book has some great soup recipes, keeps them pretty simple, and has great photos. Thumbs up.

to: Pornology: Noun--1: A Good Girl's Guide to Porn; 2: The misadventures of the world's first anthroPORNologist; 3: A Hilarious Exploration of Men, Relationships, and Sex (Paperback)byAyn Carrillo-Gailey bookshelves: funny
This book is hilarious. The author/protagonist begins a journey into discovering porn and sexuality (nothing crazy here, well ok, she ends up viewing a pretty crazy taping of a show, but she's pretty uptight, yells at boyfriend about porn and decides to learn a bit about it) with the support/egging on of her friends.
Its not so much her attending an oral sex workshop or visiting a sex shop that's funny as what happens in her relationships and attempts to have relationships all while doing things like watching 70 porn films in a matter of days.

I'm not sure which I find more amazing: that I actually finished this book, or that it got published. I think the latter.
I can explain why and how I finished this. First, I should say I picked this up on a whim because of the great cover (slightly different than the one shown here). I did not like it from the start, although there are better essays than the first. It tries too hard to be funny, and most of the time she's just crazy and annoying.
But I left it lying open around the house and because it was just short essays it was an easy choice to pick up and read while brushing my teeth or having a quick sandwich, and eventually, it was done.

This book came up in a presentation I saw for work and I grabbed it at the library. I couldn't really get into it and everything seemed pretty obvious, but then, I'm pretty happy. Maybe you'd find it more useful if you were miserable.
