Annerlee A book about what happens to bodies after death, especially when they have been donated to science / research.

The author is quietly humourous and her questions are in the 'always wanted to ask but didn't dare' category.

This is a book I can read a chapter at a time - it's fascinating though


Kathy I read Bonk by Mary Roach last year. That one is about sex and it also has answers to all those questions you don't dare ask. Very informative and entertaining! She writes very readable non-fiction.

Questions that are only just inside your comfort zone? Mary Roach must be quite a lady!

I imagine her as someone who could create uneasy silences in 'polite' (sober) company... but I'm sure she'd be a 'scream' in the right situation.
