Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War by Mary Roach

5.0

First off, this particular book smells SO FUGGIN GOOD. I definitely buried my face in it multiple times while reading.

This started out as my least favorite of her books but I think that might have been a bias I have against war. That’s war itself, not soldiers...whom I have utmost respect for as well as the sacrifices of their families.

Back to the book, she did not fail to disappoint as always...discussing poop, insects, genital reconstruction and other topics that she somehow adds humor to. I love her humor and writing style and she is definitely in my top 5 authors. I panicked because I thought this was the last book of hers I haven’t read but I found there’s still “My Planet” and a few other coauthored things. Phew. AFTER THAT THOUGH
