5 Books With Tickling Content You Must Read:
Candace Bushnell, Sex and the City (1997)
Some people still don't know that the Sex and the City series is based on Candace Bushnell's column. She wrote a column in the mid-nineties for the Observer newspaper. The first few seasons of the show actually followed the column, only the column is a bit darker anyway, telling the raw, unfiltered truth about dating in New York in the 90s, creating a really amazing portrait of the city at that time (the rich people, the social and intellectual scene). The book is thus a collection of columns.
Roxane Gay, Bad Feminist (2014)
Bad Feminist is a series of entertaining and insightful essays. It does not talk explicitly about sexuality, but also focuses on gender and race, among other things. Roxane touches on feminism today and describes how we all feel like a 'bad feminist' at times.
