Bonk, being her newest book, is almost as good as Stiff. Yet again Mary chooses fascinating subject matter and writes a fabulously candid, hilariously funny book. It's a lot like the kind of chat you'd have with your very best friends over wine after dinner... only it's in print, on your bookshelf.

I am a fan of Mary Roach. I'll read anything that she writes. Seriously, I'd read a shopping list she wrote.
Stiff was the funniest book I've ever read. Spook wasn't nearly as good, but I still loved it.

This book had very little plot, but it was still hard to put down. The writing is poetic, the philosophy is fantastic, and the characters are unique and delightful.
It's set just between the first and second world wars in Germany, and it's beautiful.
