"Breathless" by Dean Koontz was kind of forgettable and weird. The storyline and characters just seemed old, recycled stuff from better books.
"Playboy and the Making of the Good Life in Modern America" by Elizabeth Fraterrigo was very interesting. It examined the rise of Hugh Hefner's magazine and the affect it had on post-World War II America and feminism, how it was good for women as well as men, why it declined during the 1970s, in the heart of the sexual revolution, and why now today some of its biggest fans are young women.

Wow, really?
Yep. Look at the show "The Girls Next Door". They thought their biggest demographic was going to be young men, but it's actually young women that watch the show and love it, like my sister, I've personally never seen it, although I've always been a big fan of Mr. Hefner.
