Have just begun two books on pornography: Pamela Paul's Pornified and Ben Shapiro's Porn Generation.
Paul's is a well-researched, journalistic, thoughtful examination of pornography and its cultural affects.
Shapiro's is a, well, mostly the opposite. A personal essay that tries to hide as a thoughtful examination. It really is nothing of the sort.
Interesting, I've learned more from Shapiro's than Paul's (although Paul's is...

I'd've been totally happy to have this extremist, anti-freedoms judge languish to death in gridlock, debate and filibuster. But now, she's confirmed to the appeals circuit where she can pretty well fuck over freedoms and citizens with unobstructed...
