I remember getting Men are from Mars ... during it's hype time. (Interesting that today's first 5 most helpful comments on Amazon are all one star. Seems there is intelligence after all)
Never before have I thrown a book across the room. I did it 1/3rd through because it was so full of lame stereotypess and platitudes. I still can't believe how successful it was.
In comparison what a relief is Joe Quirk's book Sperm is from Men Eggs are from Woman. He is by the way a Future Saloner from our first session over 4 years ago and once told me that Bonobos solve conflicts through sex:
Sex, it turned out, is the key to the social life of the bonobo ... First, anything, not just food, that arouses the interest of more than one bonobo at a time tends to result in sexual contact.
Just think about how the world would look like if humans would develop the same pattern.
Back to Joe's book, where he presents just the scientific proven facts in a very funny and entertaining way. These are interesting enough.
Joe speaks in as he calls it the greatest bookstore in the world: Book Passage:
Event details: Book Passage Monday, June 12, 7 PM. Joe Quirk event in the Gallery, featuring sperm. Children welcome. 51 Tamal Vista Blvd., Corte Madera, CA 94925 415-927-0660 (Corte Madera) 415-835-1020 (SF) 800-999-7909 (more)
We are trying to get him to present at one of the upcoming Future Salons too. That is going to be a real funny one.
