It may take some guts to walk around carrying a bright pink book with the word “sex” on the cover, but you can rest assured that this is worthy reading material. In his newest book, the polymath and editor of the School of Life Series Alain de Botton is characteristically thoughtful and articulate, tackling the many paradoxes and pleasures of intimacy in clear, engaging, and beautiful prose. How to Think More About Sex is a balanced (though liberal) look at ethics, aesthetics, pornography, and adultery and accomplishes its goal; you will certainly think more deeply about a subject that (let’s face it) receives a great deal of attention anyway.
