I... can't agree with any recommendation of Salmon and Symonds. I'm not quite sure if you were actually reccing bits of it at all, but it is a poorly put together mishmash of evolutionary psychology, romance tropes, and slash fiction. Even if I were inclined to be generous about evopsych, the attitudes of the two authors as evinced in the book are a pretty good example of fetishising, objectifying and othering of women's sexuality in general and slash fans in particular.
Sorry to jump in, I'm afraid it's a bad habit of mine where this book is concerned :(
