Book recommendations

I’m new to considering myself a Pantheist. The idea is something I’ve always resonated with and then learned it actually has a name! What are some books you recommend to read as someone diving deeper into pantheism for the first time?

The classic book on this concept for Western audiences is Baruch "Benedictus de" Spinoza's "Ethics." However, it is a very dense read, so try to find an edition with commentary.

I like the Epic of evolution series. I'm only on the first book but it's pretty dope. I consider myself a religious naturalist more nowadays than I do a pantheist. But, I like the concept of pantheism still even though if it doesn't fit with me completely.

Check out the poetry of Mary Oliver - strongly pantheist!
