I hope I‘m not too alone in this but reading a textbook for fun can make a cool informative experience…especially if it‘s all about deciphering bones and their context to figure out who died where and how! Forensic anthropologists are called in to identify a body/answer a legal question when there‘s not enough remaining soft tissue for a medical examiner to come to any satisfying conclusions. Thought it matched well with my bedroom poster. :)
