I only just finished \u201cThe Sex Diaries<\/a>\u201d and I have to admit that it\u2019s a quirky book – in both concept and composition. At first, I thought it might be rather risqu\u00e9 but the more I read the more I realized it wasn\u2019t all that bad at all.<\/p>\n

The basic premise is a couple in therapy with a sex therapist and the story is told via their respective journals – which are supposed to be \u201csex journals\u201d.<\/p>\n

Of course, the topic is adult in nature and I would probably rate it at about a PG-16, but it\u2019s still hilarious while being extremely revealing about the psyche and how it is affected by matters of the heart (among other spots on the body).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not in the least bit explicit and while the author makes mention of things you might not want your child to be privy to just yet, the topic isn\u2019t likely to be something your child is interested in reading about either.<\/p>\n

I think I am setting my sights on \u201cThe Clearwater Journals<\/a>\u201d next. It\u2019s a whodunit type of story, about an ex-cop who is drawn into a murder investigation by a waitress with whom he is smitten (at least, that was my take when I read the first few pages). It\u2019s more along my line of subject matter and it sounds intriguing. Of course, it helps to see that a lot of other readers have also found it extremely entertaining as well.<\/p>\n

What have you read lately? And what do you think you might read next?<\/p>\n
