Gulp Adventures on the Alimentary Canal
In this international bestseller, Mary Roach breaks bread with spit connoisseurs, beer and pet-food tasters, stomach slugs, potato crisp engineers, enema exorcists, rectum-examining prison guards, competitive hot dog eaters, Elvis' doctor, and many more as she investigates the beginning, and the end, of our food.

Amuzing, sort of interesting, but overall not incredible - at least not to me. It´s more curiosities and (specific) history of science, than science, per se, so it was kind of fun, but slightly superficial and well, kind of useless. Worth the read if you like this sort of thing. I didn´t dislike it - it just didn´t ´wow´ me.
