books 2007: Stiff, by Mary Roach

[supercheesegirl]

Full title: Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers. Borrowed this from Bethanie. Wow, this was interesting. And really funny, while at the same time remaining very respectful and even loving. Highly recommended, especially if you're interested in what happens to dead bodies.

yay!
I agree; we are reading her second book, and it's not as good, though it has occasional brilliant moments.

Thanks for the book you sent with it, I am enjoying it.

I've heard that the second book isn't as good, but I'll probably pick it up at some point anyway. She has a really engaging style.

Glad you're liking the one I sent!
