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.
