Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal by Mary Roach

3.0

This was a fun read full of little known and interesting facts about our guts. This is the first book I have read by Mary Roach and I'd happily read more by her. She unhesitatingly and unabashedly asks scientists all the questions a lay person might have, which I really appreciated. Roach approaches her topics with equal parts humor and vigor. The only downside to this book is that you might have to resist the urge to discuss it's contents in "polite" society; a downside I for one will not be inhibited by.
