If you are interested in genomics, some other reads I recommend:

The Gene: An intimate history. An incredible retelling of how we discovered the gene, from Mendel and his pea plants to next generation sequencing. https://www.amazon.com/Gene-Intimate-History-Siddhartha-Mukh...

The Genome Odyssey A series of patient stories documenting the process of using genomics to diagnose and treat rare diseases in patients https://www.amazon.com/dp/1250234980

The author of this article, nick lane also has some popular bio books, in particular: Transformers, The deep chemistry of life. https://www.amazon.com/Transformer-Deep-Chemistry-Life-Death...


For those turned away by the PDF and the uninformative title: It's a book-review, namely of "She Has Her Mother’s Laugh: The Powers, Perversions, and Potential of Heredity" by Carl Zimmer.
