I love to read. I am very eclectic in my reading but I especially enjoy erotica and erotic romance. I also like movies, live theater and concerts, hockey, and counted cross-stitch.

BREASTS by Florence Williams

Breasts: A Natural and Unnatural History - Florence   Williams
The cultural history of the breast with science added to the story.  It tells the difference between humans and other mammals regarding breasts.  It also explains the stages breast go through from birth to death as well illness such as cancer.
 
I found this book fascinating.  I liked how breasts were given a context in history but I found her going through the life stages of breasts so interesting that if I fell asleep I would relisten to the chapter.  At times the narrative gets bogged down in scientific names and numbers especially on how outside chemicals affect breast milk and how it affects babies but it is information that is important.  Going through cancer was also an interesting and important section for men also. 
 
I'm glad I listened to it.  I plan on listening again.  There is so much information within this book.
