This is the best chinese medicine book for laypeople...:
that I know of but as always please let me know if you know something better. At the same time all chinese medicine leads straight back to taoism which, although it has a lot of 'great stuff' also has plenty of problems. So please don't grab onto the root! But the branches of chinese medicine will all help us break free from the bad habits we picked up in western medicine (too numberous to enumerate here) and return to the truer roots of a truly healthy and spiritual life.

part of the basic reading:
I think this book is a good starter when you want to know more about Chinese medicine. I like all the history part, and the way the meridians are presented. I found the cases interesting and to the point.It is true that you have to be persistent to finish this book, because sometimes it lacks nerve. But, not every book can or should feel like a Dan Brown or John Grisham, if you know what I mean.
And, some of the info was so dense, that I did feel the need to go back and review certain chapters...
