There is no way I'm not going to vote for 70s era Gazzara!

Reading The Body Farm was hugely influential in my life, not because I loved it (I didn't think it was up to the hype) but as it inspired me to donate my body to science. I don't get to choose a body farm, just whatever med school is close by when I kick the bucket, but a girl can dream of closing a case as her final act.

Catching up from last week, I will never not love reading about the Body Farm. When I was in graduate school in Knoxville in the early 2000s, for one of my part-time jobs at a bookstore, I ended up being Dr. Bill Bass's errand girl for an afternoon while he signed copies of Death's Acre. For one of my other part-time jobs, I parked next to the Body Farm without realizing it for nearly a year. Current me regrets the knowledge gaps of younger me.
