Event Details

Join Pikes Peak Library District as we welcome author Mary Roach to discuss her book Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law, a 2025 All Pikes Peak Reads selection. Roach will do a short reading from Fuzz, followed by a discussion of the book and writing process. Following the discussion, Roach will be available for audience Q&A. 

Mary Roach is the author of the New York Times bestsellers STIFF, SPOOK, BONK, GULP, GRUNT, FUZZ, and PACKING FOR MARS. Her new book, REPLACEABLE YOU: Adventures in Human Anatomy, debuts in September 2025. Mary has written for National Geographic, Wired, and The New York Times Magazine, among others, and her TED talk made the TED 20 Most Watched list. She has been a guest editor for Best American Science and Nature Writing, a finalist for the Royal Society's Winton Prize, and a winner of the American Engineering Societies' journalism award, in a category for which, let's be honest, she was the sole entrant.
