The sexual brain
This book, while interesting, was a bit dry and not quite as accessible as a pop science book ought to be. LeVay managed to keep it from sounding completely like a text book by dropping in a few quips here and there, but on the whole this book wasn't as enjoyable a read as Queer Science, his later book that discussed the history of scientific inquiry into homosexuality. Regardless, this book was quite interesting and is a must read for those with an interest in the subject, though I would suggest that possessing at least a basic familiarity with brain physiology and genetics will keep a reader from floundering on the modest amount of technical lingo.
