O: The Intimate History of the Orgasm, Jonathan Margolis. 400 pages about the title subject, in equal parts clinical, historical, with a good bit of speculative social anthropology and a nice section on the depiction of the orgasm in early literary pornography. You can read this for the entertainment value and come away knowing a nice handful of memorable academic findings.
Originally read March 2005
