I just finished reading Merlin Sheldrake’s “Entangled Life” for the second time in a row. I read it twice because on one hand there was quite a lot to unpack in there, and I ended up looking up a lot of other literature in parallel. And on the other hand I had way too much fun reading it. It’s a [mostly] science book that reads like a science fiction. And while that is often enough the case while reading books on mycology, the author’s language is somehow particularly fitting to the topic, which makes the book even more delighting.

The book offers a magical trip down the rabbit hole of fungi and mycelial networks, and explores the many incredible aspects of their relationship with the universe around us. While there’s quite a lot to learn in there, evern for someone who already knows their fair share on the topic, the book also tells amazing stories of the author’s own experiences as well as that of other mycology researchers and enthusiasts. All in all a truly enjoyable read and totally recommended.
