Last Chance to See is exactly that. Written by Douglas Adams with his usual charm and cadence, it’s about his journey to see – or try to see – endangered animals in their ever-decreasing habitats. I’m not very religious, and Adams himself was a radical atheist, but there’s something awe-inspiring and breathtaking about how the world is put together as shown in this book. Reading it felt like discovering there are dragons and fairies in our world, and that humans are killing them.

Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. It’s philosophical in a very conversational way, and I still think about its ideas all the time.
