If you liked Mary Roach's Stiff and Spook, you're gonna love Bonk. Bonk covers areas of a topic that is near and dear to probably all of us. Of course, we're talking about sex. Roach's style of writing draws you into an arena of clinical discussions and humor about this topic. I found myself laughing out loud at points in the book while also thinking "so that's why that happens" in other points.
I highly recommend this fun read to anyone (within the age of consent.)

I used to read this book to my son when he was a toddler. It's a great bedtime book. My son is now a teenager and every so often as we're saying goodnight, one of us will say a phrase from Goodnight Moon. I highly recommend this book to anyone who reads bedtime stories to their young children.
