The thing about life is that one day you'll be dead by David Shields

I only read 105 pages of this book (225 pages) because although it sounded promising, it was a disappointment.  On the surface, the notion of combining tons of information about the human body with musings about the author's personal body and that of his 97-year old father is intriguing.  BUT it's a huge problem when Shields produces information that is basically incorrect about the female body.  It is so blatantly wrong that I actually doubted my own knowledge of female anatomy and did research.  Within a few minutes, the National Institute of Health website confirmed that Shields is so mistaken that it's almost laughable.  Note the word almost.  I was offended by Shields' junior high school attempt at writing a factual book.
