After hearing such amazing things about Otherlands I've decided to start adding books to complete the list on top of the original five. Feel free to drop suggestions under this comment!

I used to have a comment here with a suggested reading order for the list, but as I find and add more books to it I think I'm going to remove the suggested reading order and recommend instead that you just have fun with it! This is a fascinating topic to explore, and I hope this list will help you find some new nonfiction favourites. Just start with whatever book seems most interesting to you and see what you would like to explore next ✨️
