I read cozy and historical mysteries, a bit of Paranormal/UF, and to mix it up, I read science and gardening books on occasion.
A really enjoyable collection of little known science throughout the ages. Easy to read in an almost anecdotal form, I found this book perfect for my bedside table. Read a few pages before bed without much danger of getting "hooked" into reading past a reasonable bed time.
A heads up that a handful of entries are not for the delicate of stomach or animal lovers (I skipped the animal experiment entries).
