“THE BODY – A Guide for Occupants” by Bill Bryson
The size of this big book might be off-putting but if you are interested in how your body works I suggest you read it. Being a Registered Nurse I wondered if this would be of interest to me since I expected it to be just anatomy and physiology with which I’m familiar. But, when I realized that the author was the same witty Bill Bryson who I had read before, I wanted to give it a try.

This fascinating book is twenty-three chapters long, beginning with the skin and hair and ending with the end, i.e., death. Each system of the body is described along with its functions. There is much history included regarding discoveries and photos of those who made them. Anecdotes included are purely Bill Bryson showing off his dry humor from time to time. Borrow or invest in this operator’s manual for your body!
This book has won much acclaim including The New York Times bestseller and The Washington Post book of the year.

Sounds interesting. I am behind on my reading and my respond to your blogs. There are so many chores and tasks that I must do after returning from Florida. Will get caught up soon. Thanks for your blogs.

It has less of his humor than most of his writings, but it is a very interesting read!
