Tankboyyyy You are correct, sir, and it is apparently discussed in great and hilarious detail in the new book.

seven: I don't understand your comment. It sounds like you're saying Roach's books are only stylistic? Have you read any of them? I assure you, her research is substantial, and as a scientist, I found her work to be accurate as well as entertaining, something extremely rare in science writing. (Didn't like Spook as much, though...)

Someone wrote a book about Spook? There's an article about her in the Reader. Something of a light critique.

another victory for style in the war against substance.

Didn't I see her on Slate V recently talking about she and her husband being the fist people to have internal 3-D imaging taken while having sex? A true pioneer!

She very clearly knows how to party.

I came across this interview with Ms. Roach earlier this morning: http://www.alternet.org/sex/83340/

If you've been longing to hear a writer talk about ghosts, cadavers, and sex, today is your lucky day. I was somewhat relieved to learn that these were the topics of three different books, and not just one...
