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! |

"Ring of bright water.
Just a really nice factual story."
My dad read that to me on a holiday in Scotland when I was younger. Oh thank you for bringing me that memory (he passed away a year ago) - that’s a lovely memory before bed

I'm reading it to my grandaughter when she stays over. She loves it.
It's a great book for young and old alike.
Glad I could bring you happy memories.  |

Oh I love that! It’s a beautiful one to be read to, or to read to someone.
Thank you. |

My ex bought it for me in my birthday....
The bee sting by Paul Murray
“ Can a single moment of bad luck change the direction of a life? And if the story has already been written - is there still time to find a happy ending?”
Love that book ... |

Damn fat finger deleting my post by accident!
Was saying that’s the one by Kings Cross, isn’t it? "
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. |
