A book about dead people. Awesome. Despite being a catalog book, where each chapter explores another bizarre way your corpse could make itself useful after you're not using it anymore, it's a totally engaging and highly entertaining book.
From real-life crash test dummies to medical schools to museum displays, Mary Roach explores all the different things to do after you die. There are a few chapters that are particularly gross, like the description of the decomposition lab in Tennessee. But if you're up for that, you should read this most excellent book.
