Books like Know Your Fats: The Complete Primer for Understanding the Nutrition of Fats, Oils and Cholesterol

This is more of a textbook and resource rather than easy reading, but if you are a lay person interested in fats, this will be fairly easy to read (One of the nice things about it). What I liked about this book is that it not only provides a very clear explanation for the metabolism of fats but it also provided references to the makeup of specific fatty acids of many different types of fats (so you can see the proportion of medium chain to long chain to short chain, etc). There is also an incredibly interesting read about how the propaganda again coconut oil started, written by the person who was personally involved with it. Some fascinating reads in here about the corruption and expose of what food industry will do the little guy (regarding the propaganda waged against tropical oils). If you are curious about what to bake with and cook with for various situations, this book will help solve that dilemma. Fats are not always created equal and for the hard core nutritionist and health nut...you will like this. It is certainly different.
