Used Book in Good Condition
I loved reading Ten Drugs by Thomas Hager. It's basically a history (very eloquently told) of the most important medications ever developed: https://www.amazon.com/Ten-Drugs-Powders-History-Medicine/dp/1419734407
Also, if you are interested in the process of drug development , you'll enjoy The Billion Dollar Molecule by Barry Werth. Fascinating read about a start up that became Vertex ($45BN market cap). https://www.amazon.com/Billion-Dollar-Molecule-Companys-Perfect/dp/0671510576

Something of an origin story of a lot of common-day drug discovery.
