I'm a big fan of other Mary Roach books, but not this one. Maybe it's a rejection of my own grumpiness, but this book never grabbed me

Not a bad read by any means, but not my ideal science writing. I do love it when you can tell which factoids an author was so excited to share that they had to build entire chapters around them. A fun collection of stories, experiences, and research, with no overarching goal or message. Would recommend if you're in search of something to lighten up your (if you're anything like me) doomery non-fic catalogue.

Fascinating. Another great book by Mary Roach. Parts felt a little dated, but it was still enjoyable. I feel validated eating liverwurst.
