I'd mentally composed this to be a blog post, but I'll give it a try as a comic first. I found some books. This AM I got upset after woken up by a bill collector, so I took a hot bath and a book.
Another day in the frontal lobe, 2006, Random House. It begins, "The brain looks like tofu, the soft kind, if you know tofu." I was hooked already.

It's the story of a woman brain surgeon. It's funny, very up to date, and has a dry matter of fact tone I like.
She explains how brain surgery is part scientist, part mechanic.
After lunch, I reluctantly had to set it down and start my busy day.
Did you get yet to the part about dipping gerbils in liquid nitrogen?
