A little blog entry called: MY FAVOURITEST AUTHOR EVER
Mary Roach is awesome.
If you have any interest in popular science, randomness, tidbits, facts, dead people, sex, life, the afterlife, the lack of an afterlife, historical trivia AND you have a sense of humour, give one of her books a try.
Stiff, my favourite, is the history of the use of cadaver's in medical research while Spook investigates scientific research into the afterlife and otherworldly things. Her newest book Bonk delves into the sloppy world of sex research, though unbelievably there's no mention at all of "sloppy seconds" or that other sometimes-but-not-always unpleasant event, "jizz-eye".
She is one of the few authors who can make you laugh out loud while relaying an enormous amount of complicated information in an easily digestible manner, and it's also been recently proven that she is in fact both the bee's knees, plus it's little fluffy bee feet. I'd jot down a few quotes for you all to enjoy (I'm pretending now that anyone reads this blog) but the books are over there- *points to other side of room*- and I'm over here -*points to ass on the lounge*- and I ain't movin' this caboose til it's time to go poop.
So just trust me and give 'em a go.
