The subject matter of the book didn’t bother me at all (which is good, considering the type of lab work that I have to do for my job). Based on how much I’ve loved Roach’s previous books, I just go ahead and buy whatever she’s written recently without even knowing the content. If you’re interested in reading a preview before buying Gulp, you can see pages 105 – 141 here. The book tackles everything related to digestion, starting from the nose (where most of our taste comes from) and ending up exactly where you would think. ( NOTE: Details for next month’s book are at the bottom of this post.) I’m a huge fan of her writing style–witty, full of facts (the footnotes are usually where the best anecdotes are), and delightfully gross. Welcome back to the Skepchick Book Club! This month, we read Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal by Mary Roach.
