Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach

dark funny informative

4.5

I read Bonk earlier and decided to read this work by the same author, and I was not disappointed. I finished this book about a month ago, and I still think around once a week about something I learned it it. I really enjoy books like this that are not just educational but also change the way I think about something. It was also very witty. This book is for the terribly squeamish, however--some parts were a hard read. My only complaint is that it's not terribly current, so some information is outdated. I would love to read an updated version of the book.
