For me for example its “Eat me - a natural and unnatural history of cannibalism” by Bill Schutt. Its an amazing book that covers cannibalism in animals and then the history of it in humans (cultural, survival & medicinal cannibalism).

I got a lot of “oh why would someone read something like that?” And “that not something fun to read about!” From relatives but my friends enjoyed the stuff that I could tell them about cannibalism!

    I had a professor who LOATHED Salt: A World History, said it was bad writing. I don’t know if she had academic complaints, but I can confirm it’s boring, in spite of being a cool topic.
