The last decent book I read was 2 yrars ago. It was Rane Willerslev's "Soul Hunters".<p>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.<p>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.
