The Pleasure Police

This is a nice bit of naughtiness in an otherwise oh so politically correct world. Shaw shows us that most of what we are taught to be afraid of, in most cases won't hurt us at all. There is a good bit of science to the book, but what carries you along is the daring attitude that life is to be enjoyed, not just prolonged. It's time somebody said all this, and David Shaw says it all clearly, succinctly, and with no small amount of common sense. Go ahead, live a little, read The Pleasure Police, and then don't ever worry about them again.
