I have decided to revive my old plan of using a blog to record the books that I read. Because there are a lot of them, and many times, after I while I can't even remember the title/author. So ...
Homo Domesticus by David Valdes Greenwood.
This a book about a gay couple, and the evolution of their relationship over many years. David VG is a pretty engaging writer, and I never really felt like putting the book down. Luckily, it is not that long either :). The big takeaway message from this book was that gay couples are just like straight couples in almost every way. Sounds pretty obvious, but it wasn't before I read the book. Not that I had thought too much about it :)
Another nifty thing from the book was the term awfulizing - thinking the worst interpretation of any conversation / outcome of any situation - which really was a concept waiting to be named.
So, overall, a good fun book.
