It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

It is not very often that I find a book that I literally just cannot put down. This was one of those rare gems.

Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers
by

Aunt She
, January 01, 2011
This book was fascinating! I had no idea that cadavers were being used in such interesting tests. I loved the way it was written: lots of wry humor yet in a style that was respectful to the departed. It was informative and easy to understand even though some of the subjects were very technical. My sister gave me this book for Christmas and I started reading it the next day. I essentially read it aloud to her because I so often ran across passages that were either interesting facts I didn't know or so hilarious they had to be shared! I would recommend this book to anyone. If you ever wondered how the characters on CSI know so much about how long the deceased has been dead, this book explains it, and does so beautifully.
