I'm married to a scavenger of sorts and he often totes home rescued boxes of books that I paw through with shiny, hungry eyes. I pull out the odd and interesting and add them to my teetering stack.
When my mom gave me this book, I was horrified! A humorous book about death? But now that I have sat down with it, I love it! It's especially a great book to give people who work with death on a daily basis - hospice workers, funeral directors, ministers, etc. Lord knows we need to laugh sometimes!
