    Context for title is that I always preferred fantasy until my late twenties when it suddenly paled. In theory I still love it but so much of it feels flat now. I've found I get the same expansive, slightly haunted feeling I used to get from fantasy now from certain types of nonfiction: books on travel and nature in particular.

    Examples of recent favorites:

    The Old Ways by Robert MacFarlane

    Gathering Moss by Robin Wall Kimmerer

    To Speak for the Trees by Diana Beresford Kroeger

    Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake

    Edit to add: H is for Hawk by Helen MacDonald and anything by Loren Eiseley

    What would y'all suggest after these?
