Books like Astrophysics for People in a Hurry

I'm not really an avid book reader so I don't know where to start. The only book I have is Astrophysics for People in a Hurry and I haven't even finished it yet. But I'm listening to a StarTalk podcast right now and they have Richard Dawkins as a guest. They've talked about some biology related topics, and I remember that I loved biology so much when I was in high school. So, I was wondering if you guys can suggest a book like Astrophysics for People in a Hurry but for biology or evolution or something? I did a bit of research and took an interest to The Selfish Gene but saw some feedback that it is outdated since it's an old book already. Would you guys still suggest it to this date? Or is there a better alternative?

I apologize if I made any grammatical mistakes, English isn't my first language.
