I have finished a couple of good books recently. How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence, by Michael Pollan, is excellent. Pollan, a journalist and food writer (TheOmnivore's Dilemma) covers the history snd current renaissance of psychedelic research and documents his own experiments at achieving a mystical experience. Fascinating reading.
In a whole different vein I just finished Agent 6 by Tom Rob Smith, the final book in the Child 44 trilogy. The trilogy follows the life and career of a conflicted SOviet Secret Policeman from Stalinist times thru the change to the KGB and into the Afghan war period. It is a fascinating look inside Russia over those years.
