Just finished reading #TheOverstory and man, what journey. What I really need right now is to find a #FreeCascadiaBioregion to join and defend!

#books #trees #activism #nature

#7books to get to know me, I guess most people are doing novels. Apparently this is the new thing, let’s get started:

#INostriAntenati by #ItaloCalvino (aka The Cloven Viscount, The Invisible Knight, and the Baron in the Trees).
#OneHundredYearsofSolitude by #GabrielGarciaMarquez
#TheMinistryForTheFuture by #KimStanleyRobinson
#TheOverstory by #RichardLPowers
#Foucaults Pendulum by #UmbertoEco
#Piranesi by #SusannaClarke
#TheHandmaidsTale by #MargaretAtwood

Only a tiny bit into #TheOverstory and my burning question is wtf did Frank Jr do to author #RichardPowers?? Like three of the four times this guy comes up, Powers gratuitously insults him! All we know is that his dad died when he was a little boy, which seems like it would make him a sympathetic figure. Meanwhile, Powers is like, “Frank Jr., who was such a complete yutz it’s a wonder he could even remember to breathe in and out, the moron, picked up the camera and walked outside.”
