94158, So then I read Spook, by Mary Roach Posted by janey, Tue Jul-18-06 11:59 AM
The follow up to Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers (I *think* that subtitle is right, in any case it's a close approximation), this one is about science's attempt to prove or disprove an afterlife or the existence of a soul.
Roach is a delightful writer. She has a mean sense of humor and she's good at seeing the funny and peculiar aspects of her research.
But Stiff is better. And I'm glad I waited a few months after reading Stiff to pick up Spook. Too much of a good thing is still too much.
