Although, not entirely surprising if you've read the always delightful Mary Roach's book Stiff.

    I know a museum that is all skeletons and some are human and they are featured in Dirty Jobs. They also have the beetles at work. One thing about the place that creep me out is just much they enjoyed the job. The owner also vows to put his own skeleton on display when he dies.

    What a great book! I just finished Gulp, equally as good. And if you can imagine it, more unsettling. At least for me.

    Oh, having read it, I can fully believe it.

    Honestly, Roach just doesn't miss, all her books are gold. she's one of those authors that I'll read whatever she does as soon as I find it.

    I've only read two, but the rest are on my list. I look forward to more!
