IRB Intro Post #2:

Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers
By Mary Roach
W. W. Norton & Company 2003

For the second marking period, I have decided to read Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach.  Recommended to me by one of my friends, Stiff seems like a scientific read, but certainly a very different field of science than what I usually read about.  Roach is also known for her humor and I have never been good at identifying humor when it is present or its purpose in rhetoric, so I hope reading Stiff will help improve my close reading skills for humor.
