After reading Drop City by T. Coraghessan Boyle (which I loved) I borrowed The Inner Circle also by TC Boyle from our local library yesterday and have just about finished it.
The Inner Circle is about Dr. Alfred Kinsey's sex studies and the people who worked with him. It is a fictional account based on research from the Sex Institute and previous Kinsey biographies.
Of course I took it out because it is about sex & relationships & was hoping for some juicy reading....and also because I like TC Boyle's other work. But what ended up compelling me to read it straight through was learning about Dr. Kinsey's work (I knew the simple basics of his work. I find it an interesting read and am looking forward to seeing the Kinsey movie and also reading a biography or two of Kinsey...........a very interesting man (in a Hedo-like way). Most of the characters in the book aren't fleshed out very well, but his protrayal of Kinsey is intriquing.
PS. Drop City is about a commune & hippies & I found it very entertaining as well.
