Lovecraft is a master of cosmic horror. Do read if you are a fan of horror or want to begin reading cosmic horror. This is a collection of short stories, so you an read one or two per sitting. Highly recommended.

The Theory of Everything Else
This is a wonderfully niche book on pineapples. Why are they called a variation of ‘ananas’ in many languages, as to how it cost as much as a carriage back in the day, and how it was a symbol of prestige and power. All about this simple fruit we all ...
Pineapple King Of Fruits Kaori O Connor
The niche book is lal about the history of handshakes. Why do we shake hands of people, and do other cultures do the same? This wonderful book has the answers.
The Handshake
This book is a horrifying read, one that would make us glad to be living in the 21st century. It is all about horrying and amazing medical cases and ailments and how people used to treat them before modern medicine. Truly eyeopening, and a fun read.
