Stiff is an oddy 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 are no longer with them.

Fun Read

I like reading and writing about death, corpses and decay in general. Mary shares the same feeling and made this a living (as ironic as that sounds). Death is fun, dying is not I guess. Strongly recommend this book. It’s morbid, it’s entertaining and wrote a lyric titled “Tissue Digestion”. It sounds Death Metal AF. Thanks Mrs. Roach
