hello, I've recently realized that there's a particular type of book I like to listen to on audio, but I am struggling to consistently find. I am looking for nonfiction books in which people do or encounter really wild and inexplicable things.
Probably my ideal for this is 'The Book of Eels', by Tom Fort, in which Fort describes not only the (only recently solved!!) mystery of where and how eels breed, but also the people who devoted their lives and resources to trying to figure this out, and how strange these people tended to be. I would love to read more like this.
On the other side, I also enjoy books about mundane social situations that are disrupted by bizarre behaviour, whether historical or modern.
I don't mind true crime, but would prefer to avoid anything gory or involving murder.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Well it does involve murder but *The Jakarta method* by Vincent Bevins describes some truly bizarre history.
