Bill Bryson Quote

They were all women’s magazines, but they weren’t like the magazines my mother and sister read. The articles in my mother’s and sister’s magazines were always about sex and personal gratification. They had titles like Eat Your Way to Multiple Orgasms, Office Sex—How to Get It, Tahiti: The Hot New Place for Sex, and Those Shrinking Rain Forests—Are They Any Good for Sex? The British magazines addressed more modest aspirations. They had titles like Knit Your Own Twin Set, Money-Saving Button Offer, Make This Super Knitted Soap-Saver, and Summer’s Here—It’s Time for Mayonnaise!
