Finished listening to a book about the history of poisoning from intentional to the accidental due to poisons being administered as medication before the effects were known and poisons that were in cosmetics and clothing dyes that slowly killed people.  Think mercury and the Mad Hatter.

Moved on to a book about Quakery which covers some of the same things but also devices that have been, or are, used.  Both books have lightened the mood a bit with some humor thrown in though the second book is actually pretty funny despite the topic.
