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!
Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake. It’s about mushrooms. Maybe niche to some people but fascinating to me
Ooh I just picked this up at a book sale recently. Looking forward to getting it into this one!
Really good book.
Ive had that one on my to read list for years!
