If you’re a layperson wrt genetics, check out ‘The Gene’ by Siddartha Mukherjee - it’s not too dense, interspersed with personal stories he relates to genetics and a great read. His book on cancer is also amazing, ‘Emperor of all maladies’

In my limited experience, these are two of the best non fiction books I’ve read. The author makes these subjects utterly fascinating. If he released a book about watching paint dry, I’d buy it in a heart beat and read it.
