I know, it's famous, everyone has already read it… until last week, everyone but me!
Has anyone ever written a book so unapologetically joyful about sex? I mean, the book isn't really about sex, it's about the relationship environment of a young and beautiful woman… but sex comes in a pretty strong second.
Face it, we're all just chimpanzees at heart… it's the ability to verbalize that convinces us we're smarter than that when we're really not. About people, I mean. Obviously we can solve quadratic equations, who can't, right? Pfft. But about the important stuff, about relationships: we're just chimps.
It's never going to be a desert island book, for me… but it is kind of impressive that fifty years later, no one has improved on it. It's the limit. It really is.
