Hello Ladies,

Something different this time!
Excited to be hosting this event and I hope for you to start reading this book soon. It is AMAZING. If you are interested in the body, how it works and just general knowledge about biology. This is the book for you!

This event will be a coffee catch up and a book club at the same time.
If you have read or heard the book, its ok, as long as you have read the summary or understand what the book is about.

Here is a little blurb and some testimonies about the book:

#1 Sunday Times bestseller in both hardback and paperback, this head-to-toe tour of the marvel that is the human body is as compulsively readable as it is comprehensive. Bryson at his very best, it is a must-read owner's manual for everybody.

'It is a feat of narrative skill to bake so many facts into an entertaining and nutritious book.'- The Daily Telegraph
_______

'We spend our whole lives in one body and yet most of us have practically no idea how it works and what goes on inside it.The idea of the book is simply to try to understand the extraordinary contraption that is us.'

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.

'What I learned is that we are infinitely more complex and wondrous, and often more mysterious, than I had ever suspected. There really is no story more amazing than the story of us.' Bill Bryson.
