- I wouldn't recommend "Bisexual Lives" as a first reader in bisexuality.
- Because of the small number of personal accounts in it (only 12), I
- don't think it shows enough variety and scope of bisexuality, and
- because the majority of these accounts are by people who are
- non-monogamous, I think, if read on its own, it might reinforce the
- idea that if you are bisexual then you are also non-monogamous. I think
- "Bi Any Other Name", which has over 70 personal accounts, is much
- better for a first read.
