What are some things you would love to research or learn more about if you had the time? What sorts of subjects to you read about for fun?

Ngl, I've been getting more and more curious about the history of the furry fandom recently. I think if I had the time, I'd probably try and track down any non-fiction books about it.

I love reading things that are the history of how we got where we are. Haven't read anything on furries, but I do love learning about how different cultures got the way they are.

I'm really interested in some specific history topics: war/military history, court/crime/justice system history, civil rights history, ancient history (love learning about ancient cultures), Russian history (mostly Tsarist Russian history), and history of belief systems/myths/legends and how they developed.

I've been fascinated by volcanoes since I was a kid. Also anything space related.

Cats. Dogs. Penguins. Snakes. Animals in general.

Taxidermy but just in the realm of preserving bones and such.

There is just SO MUCH I want to know about. I wish I could just spend my life learning fun things about what catches my fancy. I'm a big culture nerd, so anything anthropology/archaeology related I always wish I could know more about. Same with language.

For fun I often read a lot of child development and child psychology articles. It's related to my job, but I also just find that stuff really interesting to read about.

I'll also go on random deep dives about various animals and ecosystems. I get really excited when an animal pops up that I've never heard about! It doesn't happen very often, but always fun when it does.

I feel this so much. I wish there was more time in the day just for reading. I love learning about things. I also love reading fiction. I just love reading in general.

There is a subreddit for that! I get really excited when an animal pops up that I've never heard about! It doesn't happen very often, but always fun when it does.

I feel like it's easier to state what I'm not interested in. That said, probably at the top of the list is cyber psychology. After that, I'd probably go with either the Olympic movement or anatomy/physiology.

Generally - history of religion, social history, economic history, history of philosophy.

More particular - with religion I would say history of Islam, Christianity and Buddhism in particular, and I also love learning about the social history of Islamic and Buddhist societies specifically and getting a picture of how those religions actually functioned in society historically. But I also find the theological side of it really fascinating as well. And then with social and economic history I find the late medieval / early modern / modern period really fascinating. I think it's really interesting to read about like, the development of financial systems and trade networks, and then how those economic systems also play out in terms of different social institutions and all of that fits together with political systems and state development. And also the development of (basically) the enlightenment / scientific and industrial revolution / modernity because it's so complicated and so important.

The criminal justice system is super interesting to me. Also ancient civilizations, archaeology, the culture of remote places that aren't really well-known, and nature/animals/plants. Volcanoes, caves, the ocean. And I find it interesting to read/watch things about scuba diving, even though I have zero interest in doing it myself.

Easier to say what I don't want to learn more about. I listen to audiobooks while I work and I have a list of over 200 with my library that I'm working through. I think two or three are fiction, the rest are non fiction.

For example: I just finished up A Fatal Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum: Murder in Ancient Rome by Emma Southon and started Evolution Gone Wrong: The Curious Reasons Why Our Bodies Work (Or Don't) by Alex Bezzerides. Next up after that is a book about Action Park, the horrific amusement and water park in New Jersey.

I’m super interested in learning more about the animal kingdom and wildlife conservation. I spent most of the pandemic reading as much as I could get my hands on and also watched some things (I hate watching anything so that was kind of a big deal for me). I learned every animal species in my area including migratory birds and also learned a lot of the plants/trees. I ran out of stuff to read and local wildlife to study so I enrolled in uni and am majoring in wildlife conservation now.

Lately, the theory that Christopher Marlowe's death was a clever ruse to avoid his being hauled in front of a court and then tortured and executed for atheism. I won't hazard a guess if it's true, but there's reasons to doubt the official story and the premise is hella entertaining.

Film making. I'd want to learn every tiny thing about what it takes to make a movie. Who does what? Why? How? Know every tiny thing it takes to do one thing (IE. What does it take to be an editor? Writer? Cinematographer? Lighting? Stunts? Sound?)

To research: living off-grid and all the skills that would involve; doomsday prepping; Amish/Mennonite/Quaker life; samizdat; understanding Objectivism (Ayn Rand).
