I'm reading Mary Roach's latest pop science book, Gulp. It might be my favorite of her books thus far, and I've loved everything she's written. (If you haven't read Packing For Mars yet, what are you doing with your life?) This one is subtitled "ADVENTURES ON THE ALIMENTARY CANAL", and she traverses the whole system, nose to anus, explaining our understanding of digestion and relating science anecdotes at each step.
