Great presentation! I wish you had used the whole twenty minutes though. I noticed that you didn't say a word about that strange odor Denmark seemed to have. No problem; there's enough material in Bonk for a second whole lecture :-)

Glad to see you'll be in the area. Copperfield's Books in the SF North Bay also sets up bookstore talks, I would be stoked to see you come up here!

OK, now I have read "Stiff", "Spook" and "Bonk"...more please? Any articles, or new books you are working on? Anything to recommend in the mean time???

I just finished Spook. I read Stiff a few years ago, but Bonk will be read much sooner. Great writing. Keep it up. How about a book on New age guru's called Twink?

nice

I started reading our first Kindle download - Bonk - yesterday. It's great! Steele and I are both enjoying it, and fighting over the Kindle. :)

I used to sub in Oakland schools before I moved, and I was reading "Bonk" while some of the preschoolers were having quiet reading time (I'd taken the jacket off - no need for the admin. to ask questions). One little boy walked up to me to ask what I was reading. I quickly told him, "A chapter book. Want me to read this?" and grabbed a book on trains or ducks or something and read that to him for the next 5 minutes. Close call.

buying this tomorrow.

i've been reading this for a little while. about halfway through and i am VERY impressed. i didn't know there was so much HISTORY in sexual science!!

Once again you kicked Sedaris' ass. Loved your book! Informative and totally funny.

I loved both of these books. I especially love the chapter on reincarnation in Spook. It's hysterical, but not mean spirited!

I listed Stiff as one of my favorite books on my info. page. You are absolutely hilarious! I'm reading and enjoying Spook now. I miss your column in Readers Digest!
