"One of the funniest and most unusual books of the year....Gross, educational, and unexpectedly sidesplitting."—Entertainment Weekly

Stiff is an oddly compelling, often hilarious exploration of the strange lives of our bodies postmortem. For two thousand years, cadavers—some willingly, some unwittingly—have been involved in science's boldest strides and weirdest undertakings. In this fascinating account, Mary Roach visits the good deeds of cadavers over the centuries and tells the engrossing story of our bodies when we are no longer with them.

I really loved this read, it was funny and super interesting. I decided long ago I'd most prefer to be cremated and this book has confirmed it is the right decision for me, I do also love the fertilizer idea. But now I'm also more interested in having my body donated to science then I've ever been, the book is a very good read and should make for an interesting conversation next week at book club.
