The Ladies' Room Reader: The Ultimate Women's Trivia Book

Alicia Alvarez supplies fun and fancy for the fair sex in The Ladies' Room Reader: The Ultimate Women's Trivia Book. Loosely organized into broad chapters--""Women Get Malled,"" ""Women in Bed""--and rife with facts, rumors, stories, quotations and advice, the book covers everything from where to get a casket for your deceased pet, to the average number of hours women spend having sex during their lifetime (620), to Marlene Dietrich's most impressive sexual conquests. Alvarez treats her readers and her trivia with a companionable, practical levity as she makes dizzying leaps from topic to topic. A great gift book for a heterosexual audience. (Mar.)
