I strongly lean nonfiction, especially history/sociology/science, but I'm open to whatever if you think it's neat!
Also accepting recommendations for print nonfiction bc I am a footnotes sicko, so if you think a book really benefits from the footnotes and should be read in print I am all about that too!
I am entirely sure this is an exaggeration, but so many of the nonfiction science and even history books are "here is a topic and a memoir of someone who cares about it, intertwined". you don't actually have to have a memoir to get me to learn about a topic. I promise.
I came across the book Spineless: The Science of Jellyfish and the Art of Growing a Backbone, which sounds interesting. I mean, jellyfish! I've studied them some and I would be interested in an evolutionary perspective on them. But wait!!
I don't know how the audiobook is (I am an easily overstimulated person when it comes to audio, so audiobooks aren't my thing) but if you want a fascinating read, Venomous was a truly enjoyable read.
It's not a memoir, it's an 'animals make batshit crazy stuff and then humans do batshit crazy stuff to study it' story. The writer does have a few personal anecdotes but they're mostly about how they found/met the crazy person doing the research, since they were a tox student.
It's just. I fucking love me a nutso scientist, dude.
