The last decent book I read was 2 yrars ago. It was Rane Willerslev's "Soul Hunters".
I enjoyed the book for its depiction of an a-logical style of dealing with the world. The book describes the animist world view of a Siberian people, the Yukagir. It is interesting to me that their animism works for them just as the logical paradigm works for Westerners.
The animism of the Yukagir recognises the personhood of prey species; the spiritual conflict of the hunter whose intent it is to murder another person for food is real.
