Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal, by Mary Roach (2013)

This science book is an amusing telling of how our bodies are designed to process and digest the food we eat from start to finish. The process begins with smelling the food we will put into our mouths and ends with defecation. The author spares us details. She is also very amusing and there are many laugh-out-loud bits in this book. The book answers questions about the alimentary canal that most people never think about.
