Stiff *the secret life of human cadavers- Mary Roach

Interesting read, a blend of information and humour without being glib. Basically explores the various destinations a body might end up after being donated, from armed forces to plastic surgeons ect.

If that seems too macabre then she wrote a book called 'Bonk'. That's good too!

I'm reading it to my grandaughter when she stays over. She loves it.

It's a great book for young and old alike.

If you want a couple of very memorable short novels, try 'The Wasp Factory' by Iain Banks and 'The Cement Garden' by Ian McEwan. Anything by Ursula Le Guin is also good.

Yes! Went on my lunch break today and left with a great pamphlet that I won’t mention on the forums and another cool one on anarchism and polyamory

They also had some great books in there so I’ll revisit.
