pickAfter seeing the movie Freuds Last Session I wanted to know more about CS Lewis. I had read his Narnia series in my 20s. This was in my partners extensive book collection and I started to read it. My confession here, I only read the Afterword. Amazing. Gave me all I wanted to know about CS Lewis. Fitted in well with what I had learnt from the movie. I am interested in how he went from being an atheist to a Christian. I‘ll try 1 more of his books.
This is a hilarious exploration of the strange lives of our bodies postmortem. I do not care what happens to me, blow me up, dissect, experiment, learn or plasticized me. A good read.
If you are looking for me, you‘ll find me here (until further notice).
pickAuthor Mary Roach does a deep dive into the “careers” of human and animal cadavers. Ranging from the obvious medical anatomy cadavers for education to crash testing cars and planes for safety to organ and tissue donation, Roach really went out of her way to find both modern and medieval knowledge on how societies have used the bodies of the dead to help the living. Roach writes with an edge of humor to soften the blow of a couple of topics here.
And then I hear the sharp intake of his breath followed by the sound of his voice. It‘s the first time today I can truly hear him.
“Mia?” he asks.

pick“You cry in your room. I cry in my room. Mom cries in Mom's room. And in the morning everyone pretends like they never cried once in their life.”
Teen Isabelle is grieving the loss of her dad, but what makes it even more heartbreaking is that no one - especially her mom - will talk about it or acknowledge the loss…
