I Can Barely Take Care of Myself: Tales from a Happy Life Without Kids, by Jen Kirkman, 213 pages
Men don't seem to get asked this question that every childless woman over the age of about 25 gets asked on the regular: "So, when are you having children?" Jen Kirkman, a child-free by choice stand-up comic, takes on the people who ask this question and those who can't accept "I don't want children" for an answer. It was refreshing to hear a fairly normal woman defend her position, and add some humor to the conversation. What it seems to boil down to is that it really isn't anyone else's business, and we really should stop inquiring about the choices other women and couples decide to make.
