Mary Roach is awesome, I haven't read that one yet but I loved Stiff.

Only one I haven't read is "Spook"...and that is because I snagged a copy from the library book sale so I own it so it doesn't have a due date so I will never read it #librarianproblems.

Also, you gotta read "Bonk" because it is all about the science and sex and it is both hilarious and disturbing. Oh heck, read all her books!

I love a book with a sense of humor. :)

Me too. If science was taught with more humor in school, I think kids would embrace it. I love Mary Roach's down to Earth yet still intelligent style.

Going to be difficult to read the words "per annum" again without giggling :)

AHAHAHA--nice. I'm not familiar with Mary Roach. Is this non-fiction? Because I don't tend to read a lot of it. It sounds hilarious though.
