What Journeys out of the body is like to read

An earnest firsthand log of out-of-body episodes, presented as quasi-clinical field notes rather than mystical rhapsody. Reads as episodic case reports layered with the author's attempts to make rational sense of the anomalous. Best for: readers curious about consciousness exploration and firsthand paranormal accounts told in a matter-of-fact register.
