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?
