David Shields's The Trouble with Men: Reflections on Sex, Love, Marriage, Porn, and Power is an immersion into the perils, limits, and possibilities of human intimacy. All at once a love letter to his wife, a nervy reckoning with his own fallibility, a meditation on the impact of porn on American culture, and an attempt to understand marriage (one marriage, the idea of marriage, all marriages), The Trouble with Men is exquisitely balanced between the personal and the anthropological, nakedness and restraint. While unashamedly intellectual, it's also irresistibly readable and extremely moving. Over five increasingly intimate chapters, Shields probes the contours of his own psyche and marriage, marshalling a chorus of other voices that leaven, deepen, and universalize his experience; his goal is nothing less than a deconstruction of eros and conventional masculinity. Masterfully woven throughout is an unmistakable and surprisingly tender cri de coeur to his wife. The risk and vulnerability on display are in the service of radical candor, acerbic wit, real emotion, and profound insight-exactly what we've come to expect from Shields, who, in an open invitation to the reader, leaves everything on the page.Binding Type: Paperback

A true cooling blanket
Color: Light Gray, Size: Full / Queen (90"x90")
Hot sleeper paradise! It’s so silky, lightweight and extremely comfortable. I definitely recommend this for anyone who is usually is a hot sleeper or going through menopause (the night sweats are the worse)

Silky comfort
Color: Light Gray, Size: Full / Queen (90"x90")
I love this comforter. I’ve been using a blanket I ordered on another site for the last year that I loved but needed a new one because my son got bubble gum on it. I ordered this one after searching for a a couple of days. I was initially disappointed because it didn’t feel like it had the same cooling factor as my prior blanket. However, after sleeping with this blanket for the past 2 nights, I can say I’m in love. It’s still “cool”, just in a different way. I’m so excited to go lay down. Lol. It feels like a silk sandwich with light, soft comforter material on the inside. Silky and cool. Definitely recommend.

Excellent purchase
I love everything about it. The color, the soft cool texture and it drapes nicely over the sides of my mattress. It’s very beautiful. Perfect for the warmer season. I washed and dried it when I received it and it came out well. I love sleeping with it and so do my cats. A very excellent buy for little money

Fluff them up-put them in the dryer to get shape back!
Style: Medium/Firm, Size: Queen
At first I thought the wrong pillows were sent. Their shape had been pressed out of them. I put them in my dryer on fresh air for half an hour and they were fine. Very nice choice.
