Mary Roach Topics Quotations

The broader the topic, the easier it is, not only to fill a book, but to set the bar pretty high for really great stuff.

Picking my topics is sort of a process of elimination for me. Most things don't work for me. I like to cover science and unexpected things happening in labs. Also, theoretical research doesn't work for my style. I need scenes and interactions. Then, humor. I'm having the most fun when I can have fun with my work.
