Hey!
Do you guys have recommendations for interesting books on niche subjects? I want to explore some topics I don’t usually read about and mix it up a bit.
I tend to read mostly books about economics, non-fiction history books or science fiction.
I think it would be interesting to read something about architecture, sports, travel or romance - simply something outside what I usually read. Have you guys read anything niche recently that was good?
Off the top of my head - good books on niche topics
Concrete Planet
Sand Talk
Ancient Brews
H2O a biography of water
Food of the Gods: The Search for the Original Tree of Knowledge : a Radical History of Plants, Drugs and Human Evolution
Pihkal
The book of dead philosophers
Anything by Michael Pollen but perhaps especially the Omnivores Dilemma
If you like architecture I feel that the Fountainhead by Ayn Rand is a must read. Rand gets a lot of hate, perhaps deservedly but this book is a solid novel and mysteriously intriguing.
