I mean I feel like this one is pretty self explanatory. cannibalism that happened in real life NOT true crime (mostly)

Just like your username, this list, once again, eats (figuratively and literally in the books) đ
Real cannibalsâŠ

I saw the Wager on this list, and recently it popped up on my audiobook app and I was thinking of giving it a listen (it sounds interesting), so I figured it couldn't hurt to ask - would you recommend reading this book?

i actually don't know! There's a few books on this list I haven't read yet, and The Wager is one of them. I know it's very popular, and Grann wrote Killers of the Flower Moon (i believe) which is very highly regarded.
I have read In The Heart of the Sea, though, which is about a different shipwreck. I can definitely recommend that one!

context for this list: an educated cannibal is an ethical cannibal. these are non-fiction books that have cannibalism in them. on this list you will find survival stories, anthropological studies, informative anthologies, historical non-fiction, and political writings that explore the cultural relevance of anthropophagy. you will notice there is not a lot of true crime on this list as i typically do not read that genre. also, i have curated this list to include books i own/have read, or at least books that contain the most accurate and recent information on a given subject.
