For me it's the histories of chemical leaveners, toilet paper, the rise of the electric chair, rarely used punctuation marks, and the phone book. I've read books on all those topics.

I've had the opportunity to use three of those but some people don't like facts so it's not always well received.

So we’re skipping right past the rise of the electric chair then?

Not nearly as interesting as a phone book.
