The Witches: Salem, 1692 by Stacy Schiff
Did not finish book. Stopped at 60%.

Super slow pace but not skimmable like most academic historical texts are so just ends up being a weird unpleasant middle ground

Narcotic Culture: A History of Drugs in China by Zhou Xun, Frank Dikötter, Lars Laamann

medium-paced

1.5

The argument the authors are making is so ridiculous it’s actually entertaining. Chapters contradict each other, almost all their evidence is anecdotal and all the scientists they cite were alive for the opium wars. If I’m a sheep for believing that heroin/morphine/opium is bad for you then so be it.
