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!
Deaths of Despair by Anne Case and Angus Deaton. It’s about the high rates of deaths in the U.S. from alcoholism, opiate overdoses, and suicide. I like economics, demography, and politics. This covered a lot of my interests.
Ooh, sounds interesting, just put it on my library request list.
