TW stole this book out from under me and read it first. I thought I might kill her before she finished it. She spent a lot of time staring at me and asking me weird questions like “Can I feel your ear?” and “Can I look at your belly button?” I thought RJ (the 10 year old) was also going to kill her for similar reasons.
Now that I’ve read The Naked Woman: A Study of the Female Body I see why she was staring and asking ridiculous questions. The book should not be read by people like TW because it’s just too much for them to handle. I, on the otherhand, found it interesting but found no need to wander around and compare various female bodies with mine or with other female bodies.
Very interesting book. Quick read. I’m not sure I want to read any of his other “studies” though. I really hope he doesn’t have a Cow Watching book… TW could be really embarrassing with that one.
