Good books on space and astronomy? Fiction or non-fiction. Someone with a bit of imagination, or something like Star Maker or Aniara. No Sagan. Don't want to read about Galileo and Einstein for the umpteenth time. Give me fresh perspectives.

Quasars are so luminous they make stars cast shadows. A planet orbiting a quasar at the right distance would experience uninterrupted cosmic day.

>>24551733 (OP)
>Journeys Out Of The Body
>Far Journeys
>Ultimate Journey
Robert Monroe, classic trilogy.
>Striking The Wild Pendulum
Itzhak Bentov, his other books must be just as good but I didn't read them yet.
>My Big TOE
Thomas Campbell, didn't read them yet though
>The Noetic Universe
Dean Radin, didn't read this either.
There is another book called The Holographic Universe (don't remember the author) that I did not read either but it's probably based on Bentov's ideas which also describe the universe as a hologram.
Another book I intend to read that I am 99% sure I will love is Buddhist Cosmology.
