The Body: A Guide for Occupants by Bill Bryson is a digestible read for anyone wanting to learn more about the human body who doesn't know much about the topic. Bryson excels at keeping the information engaging, concise, and even humorous. After talking about this book, I'll give another book with a crazy title written by an author whose last name is perfect for his job. By the time you finish both, you'll be in awe of the complex mechanics of the human body and alarmed by the many gaps in our healthcare system.
