I highly recommend this book. It's so very funny and really interesting. Anyone else read it yet? Before I read it I thought it might upset me because the whole death thing really freaks me out, but it didn't. It was oddly comforting or something. But yeah... very interesting.

I got this a few months ago. I haven't made it very far yet, and to be honest, have had a little trouble getting into it. Not that the subject bothers me; there was just something about her writing that didn't really pull me in. Reckon I'll give it another chance, because you're not the only person I've heard praise this book.

A bit late, but yeah, this is a pretty neat book. A bit too reminiscent of those dumb "horrible history" and "terrifying science" kids books at times, but I guess that's more a personal problem of mine than the book's.

My sister talked about naming her cadeavor "Bertha". She had a hard time flipping her onto her stomach, so she sawed off her legs and threw them out.

If I had the money, I'd so go to med school just for kicks.
