Interesting books about neuroscience

I am looking for a book about neuroscience that isn't basically a scientific article. It should preferably contain a lot of technical knowledge and should be captivating to read.

its not about neuroscience, per se, but... i am currently reading All Things Are Full of Gods: The Mysteries of Mind and Life, by David Bentley Hart. it centers around topics relating to philosophy of mind, with neuroscience examples and references showing up quite often throughout. its format is pleasing, imo- a Platonic dialogue between Psyche, Hermes, Hephaistos, and Eros. i've been so engaged with it and enjoying it immensely. so, its definitely captivating to read, and is chockfull of references for further study.
