Animal Husbandry

By Laura Zigman

After having been dumped numerous times by men, Jane Goodall comes up with the New Cow-Old Cow theory: New Cow is short for New-Cow Theory; which is short for Old Cow-New Cow Theory, which, of course, is short for the sad, sorry truth that men leave women and never come back because all they really want is New Cow.

This is basically an all-men-are-bastards book, with plenty of examples of men dumping women and all the excuses they come up. For any woman who has been dumped this must be a very therapeutic book to read. It is very light reading and perfect when on a plane (like I was for half of this book) or in any other surrounding when absolute concentration is not required. Okay reading but nothing more.
