I can only read one book at a time. Right now I'm reading Doc Holliday by John Meyers. It's not too long, so I should finish it this weekend.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Is second sex better than first?


Currently reading - nothing for pleasure. A bunch of patents and a couple of polymerization kinetics papers.
Almost as bad as baseball. Almost.

In the matters of sexual intercourse the second sex is indeed better than the first. But then again I've never had first sex. I'm guessing you have?

I just watched "Guns, Germs and steel"...I think if you try hard enough you can make anything about geography...but's overlysimplistic. It was pretty good though.
