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!
Read “The Coming Plague” by Laurie Garrett. It covers most outbreaks in 20th century USA and how government responded to them. She also has some interesting talks on youtube.
Sounds so great! Tysm
