I read some free kindle books back in the day, that probably only a few thousand other people have read, so very plausibly no one on Lemmy has ready.
So, what books have you enjoyed that you feel confident no one else on Lemmy has read?

After Man by Dougal Dixion.
It’s a book about speculative biology. It hypothesizes that humanity will lead to the extinction of most of the animals we know. After that new animals will evolve to take their place. The book speculates that rabbits will take the place of deer, and that rats will evolve into dog like animals .
The best part about the book is that there are great illustrations.
To my knowledge it’s not a very well known book, just because speculative biology is a very niche subject.
Have you ever checked out Alltomorrows by Nemo Ramjet? It’s got some of the best illustrations and stories in the speculative evolution genre.
I am talking out of my butt here, but I read a related book, “Man After Man”, by the same author, when I was a kid, and it stuck with me, so many years later when Amazon became a thing, I tried to find it and his other books. I wound up in a rabbit hole of Google that suggested that he does some of the art and was discredited for it? At least. I think I remember something like that. Man After Man was trippy though.
Edit: Googled a bit, can’t find reference to this now. Maybe I’m wrong? It could happen, in theory.
