Thomas F. (hardtack) - , reviewed on 7/12/2016 + 2700 more book reviews

I first started reading this book when I was at the supper table. It didn't take me long to realize that probably wasn't a good idea. Not that I have a weak stomach, it is just, unlike a cold beer, some of the material discussed didn't compliment what I was eating.

Other reviewers here do a good job in describing the material covered in this book. I'd just like to point two of my favorite tid-bits from the book:

"The way I see it, being dead is not terribly far off from being on a cruise ship. Most of your time is spent lying on your back. The brain has shut down. The flesh begins to soften. Nothing much new happens, and nothing is expected of you."

and

"The human head is approximately the same size and weight as a roaster chicken."
