So glad to see someone enjoyed Entangled Life. I really wanted to love it, but it seemed like every time Sheldrake started to hit a groove on something fascinating (like slime molds! Slime molds navigating complex mazes!), he suddenly wandered off track to contemplate the mysteries of LSD and the rise of civilization. Which could have been a nifty chapter but he never provided any actual corroborating evidence, and instead it just interrupted the legitimately amazing cool Science Facts. (Michael Pollan covers the whole mushroom LSD +/- civilizational impacts in How to Change Your Mind, and does so as an experienced author who is fully aware not everyone wants to trip on shrooms. I'd say it pairs well with Entangled Life.)

The Color of Distance sounds awesome, I add it to my list posthaste.
