Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach

What happens to our bodies after we die? Mary Roach’s hilarious investigation takes readers on a journey from plane crashes to forensic cadaver farms to crash test dummies — some of it gruesome, but all of it fascinating. Even though this book was originally written in 2003, it’s still an enduring classic for true crime fans and science buffs. (Just be careful about reading this one while you’re eating.)
