I have started The Body: A Guide for Occupants by Bill Bryson. Bryson has been a favourite author of mine for about 30 years and I have had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times. I long since got into the habit of buying his books as soon as they were published. So, as soon as I heard about this one, a “pre-order” was in place. His last book of this ilk was very enjoyable [and incredibly successful], so I have high hopes. Here’s the blurb:
Bill Bryson sets off to explore the human body, how it functions and its remarkable ability to heal itself. Full of extraordinary facts and astonishing stories The Body: A Guide for Occupants is a brilliant, often very funny attempt to understand the miracle of our physical and neurological make up.
A wonderful successor to A Short History of Nearly Everything, this new book is an instant classic. It will have you marvelling at the form you occupy, and celebrating the genius of your existence, time and time again.
