“some assembly required” is so funny, what a fantastic list!
I was giggling as I typed it.
this is so delightfully weird 😂😂
Your comment made this pop up on my feed and my first reaction was "eXcUsE mE" 👀
Right? It took me a moment to see the vision and then I was sold
I have no idea why this was one of the first things I thought about this morning, but here we are.
The subconscious working overtime
this is so funny i’m dead 🤣🤣
Frankenstein needs hair though lol 🧟
i don’t have any suggestions but i am watching intently to see where it grows 👁️👄👁️
Yes, we are experiencing supply chain issues and are still trying to find sources for some key elements of our kit, such as hair, skin, bones, hearts, and other important organs.
(Translation: Libby is really full of books with a focus on disease and wellness. If anyone has suggestions for micro history or pop-sci style books about any body parts not yet represented on this list, I would welcome them!)
I'll use chia seeds as a temporary substitute 🌱 this list is amazing lol
This is HILARIOUS🤣
Thank you, I am glad I can amuse other people as well as myself!
are you taking body part suggestions or not? if you are, maybe the nose by nikolai gogol? (the nose is also a literal character in the story)
I am accepting suggestions but I am keeping this list to non-fiction! The Nose does look entertaining though 😁
understandable 😅
if frankenstein's monster is in need of a microbiome, i can suggest 10% human by Alanna Collen (but if it is not needed feel free to ignore)
been seeing a lot of blood by dr jen gunter on my feed if frankensteins monster needs some
I actually had Blood on here when I first set up the list, but then I saw Nine Pints and swapped it in and replaced Blood with The Vagina Bible.
If Frankenstein needs a soul for his monster, Mary Roach also wrote Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife
Roach has so many good options!
this is incredible i’m completely and utterly obsessed
“the exquisite machine” is about the human heart!! or “heart: a history”
Thank you for the suggestions!
