Another great adventure into something with Mary Roach. Mary's real thoughts and humor mixed in with what could be quite dry science makes the subject matter oh-so-much more compelling.

Readers are in for a treat to learn about what our meatbags are like after our consciousness is gone from them. - note - she never refers to us as meatbags

In addition to shedding light on a subject most of us will never be able to learn first hand, she also humanizes the work - noting the names and appearances of each person she encounters in her reporting.

I recommend this one for sure.
