I just finished reading Mary Roach's Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void, and now understand why she has been called America's funniest science writer. Personally, I have now lost any romantic notions about space travel, and I know far more about it than I wish I did. Roach's research goes beyond dilligent, yet her writing is accessible, and entertaining. I laughed out loud so many times, I lost count.

I look forward to reading her other titles - Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex, Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, and Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife.
