Ok don't make fun of me. I read this to understand better the difference between males and females, and I learned a lot - at least from the first chapter and the last chapter. The rest in between were not very interesting and relevant. The basic premise is that what makes men different from women is that they compartmentalize their lives into "boxes" like waffles. They focus on one box at a time, depending on what they are good at, and they will stay there until they have conquered it and they have a good reason to move to another box. Women are like spaghetti in that they are good at connecting every little detail of their lives as though it was all one endless noodle - their memories, their emotions, their friends, etc. This is why men and women conflict and fight so much, because one has a hard time understanding why they other is like a waffle or a spaghetti. A little cheesy, but it opened my eyes.

I'm just getting into this one after much prompting from my son. So far, I love it! (I'm a real Percy fan.)

Exceptionally good quality short stories, though somewhat depressing. This (or selections from it) would be a good choice for a highly aggressive book club. Many of the stories are great candidates for discussion that involves a sussing out of symbolism and other literary techniques.
