I have been reading the books *The Elements* by Theodore Gray and *Stuff Matters* by Mark Miodownik, both being very popular chemistry science books. Are there some other easy-to-read, popular but scientifically accurate chemistry books available?


The answer to the question should not be "primarily opinion based", since "popular" can be measured.
