Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers - Mary Roach

Since I generally read while eating, it took me a while to get through this book and my meals.

A respectful, informative, and often funny look at what happens to a body after the light goes out (and when that moment actually is). Not only did I learn a lot and enjoy the reading, it made me think about what I might want to do with my own body when I'm done with it. I highly recommend reading this book (unless you are really squeamish).
