I was wondering what kind of books would be useful and interesting to read for a medicine applicant. I want to apply for medicine this october and I am currently reading Genome by Matt Ridley and Bad Science by Ben Goldacre. Would these books be good to mention in my personal statement or would I need more specific medicine related books. Are there any interesting medicine related books that you guys would recommend?
Also does anyone have any names of books which would also be good for a beginner in neuroscience??
