What are your book recommendations?

Hello!
Yes, I know - all I need is this forum. But I like to read a good informative book every once in a while b/c this provides a very systematic approach to a subject versus reading through forum threads often contradicting each other.
So, I'd like to hear about your book recommendations with regard to mycology, growing, pharmacology, history?
Regards

I'd be interested to know if there are good recent books too.
Sometimes it's nice to be able to read something on the Kindle.

Hallucinations: by, Dr. Oliver Sacks.
(Imho/e)
Prerequisite reading for any serious psychonaught, curious hobbyist/enthusiast, and/or any medical microdosers who want to understand a bit more on the subject of hallucinations & hallucinogenic states (natural ones we have daily & those brought about by psychoactive substances, & certain illnesses/diseases, etc etc).
Check your local library (mine had it) - or read it/order it online. A very illuminating read.
Here’s a piece on it:
“To many people, hallucinations imply madness, but in fact they are a common part of the human experience. These sensory distortions range from the shimmering zigzags of a visual migraine to powerful visions brought on by fever, injuries, drugs, sensory deprivation, exhaustion, or even grief. Hallucinations doubtless lie behind many mythological traditions, literary inventions, and religious epiphanies.
Drawing on his own experiences, a wealth of clinical cases from among his patients, and famous historical examples ranging from Dostoevsky to Lewis Carroll, the legendary neurologist Oliver Sacks investigates the mystery of these sensory deceptions: what they say about the working of our brains, how they have influenced our folklore and culture, and why the potential for hallucination is present in us all”.
I rate the book a solid 9.5/10.

You have never given a friend a book to read? Thats what im doing.
Some people lack money to afford a library of $30 books.

There's a really nice timeline documenting the history of psychedelics, which maintained by another Shroomery member: Psychedelic Timeline

Though you might be able to find these titles more affordably elsewhere, there's a really nice curation of relevant books put together by MAPS here https://store.maps.org/np/clients/maps/catalog.jsp?catalog=2
