Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers

DNF–I'd never read any Mary Roach before but I know her pop science deal, and when I saw this audiobook was available I grabbed it, since it was a good length for a trip I was taking. I really enjoyed probably the first 5 hours of the audiobook–interesting anedcotes, and the somewhat disjointed nature of the book made it a good audiobook–kind of like a series of podcasts. But then it got like, pretty gross, like cannibalism and animal experiments and stuff, and it was making me feel real squeamish, and I remembered I had other things I could listen to and nobody was making me finish the book. So I didn't! In fairness to Mary Roach I probably should have guessed this from the title and basic subject matter...but I wasn't squicked by the stuff like old timey corpse snatching for medical schools and use of cadavers as crash test dummies...so...well, whatever.If you are less squeamish you would probably like it. I might check out one of her other books sometime, like maybe [b:Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void 7237456 Packing for Mars The Curious Science of Life in the Void Mary Roach https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1290480157s/7237456.jpg 8159756] won't make me want to barf so much, idk
