Yes, we'd probably enjoy it, but I'd far rather read Neil DeGrasse Tyson's book, frankly. However, this isn't really the place to be touting our choices, except to get them to the next round where the serious lobbying can begin.
I'd like to get those that didn't read Stiff to read Gulp because I think they'd enjoy Mary Roach's writing.

I don't mind Neil DeGrasse Tyson, but he's no Carl Sagan.
