Everything I Thought About Swinging Was Wrong

I ran across this survey the other day: Today's Alternative Marriage Styles:
The Case of Swingers

Very fascinating. I was especially surprised by table 14 that showed that 78.5% of swingers are very happy in their marriages compared to 64% for non-swinging couples. Table 16 blew my mind as well with 62% of both females and males being happier in their marriages after swinging.

Those are just two examples that surprised me but the entire report is very interesting. I guess it goes to show you what assuming can do. I wouldn't have believed any thing would be like that for swingers.

Here's another book that I've read after watching the movie.

This is an interesting book if you don't mind a story with a slower pace. I know of two other people who I work with that didn't finish it due to it's pace. I, however, enjoyed it. Part of the draw for me was the descriptions of life back then.

I did have issues with the ending. So much of the story is about Ada learning to survive on her own and Inman returning home that when they were finally reunited I became rapidly bored. Here the two have been in one adventure after the other and then they hang out in a cabin for what seems forever.

I enjoyed this book but not enough to read Mr. Frazier's next one.
