It's almost always better to read the book before watching the movie, so I was determined to read this one before watching the PBS miniseries that I DVR'd back in September. But after several attempts, starting and stopping and starting over, where my attention kept wandering, I've decided to put this back on the shelf and watch the show before coming back to the book.
Audiobook, via Audible. Davina Porter is one of my favorite narrators, so it's not her performance that's giving me trouble.
One chapter of amusingly dated science on cellular reproduction and genetics. Four chapters warning of the dangers of self stimulation. No information about actual sex.
Not sure which is more amusing: the information, or imagining the poor Gutenberg volunteers trying to read these chapters with a straight face.
