"The Golden Bough" - a study in comparative religion, by James George Frazer https://openlibrary.org/works/OL1159648W/The_golden_bough?ed... (https://openlibrary.org/works/OL1159648W/The_golden_bough?edition=key%3A/books/OL13504043M) LETTER TO A BRAZILIAN MASON - Marcelo Ramos Motta https://parareligion.ch/dplanet/motta/moma2.htm

Out of the Silent Planet, by C.S. Lewis. Wonderfully written, though not as completely fleshed-out as a modern sci-fi reader may be used to. Still stands on its own two feet, worth a try. My first sci-fi. The Golden Bough, Frazer. Sublime, frustrating and intriguing. Changes your dreams, whether you immediately realise it or not. How Things Work: The Universal Encyclopedia of Machines. My grandfather gave me this when I was 8, I still regularly leaf through the tea-coloured pages and detailed black-and-red drawings two decades later. It's a charming book, the kind of thing we have websites for nowadays.
