“She loves her own species, too-sneaky and self-serving, trapped in blinkered bodies, blind to intelligence all around it-yet chosen by creation to know.” #theoverstory

Good evening everyone from a drizzly, wet UK 🇬🇧 Hope you’re all well wherever you are in the world. Today I’m sharing the second part of my gigantic book haul. I needed these books. Yes I did. That’s why I treated myself! Most of these books have been on my wishlist for a long time, except Life After Life which is a favourite of mine but until now, I only had on my Kindle. A big thank you also to the lovely @mrdamianbarr for convincing me to buy The Overstory by Richard Powers after selling it so beautifully in his recent Facebook chat. Have you read any of these books? What did you think? I’d love to know! #bookstagram #bookworm #booklover #bookhaul #icanthelpmyself #ineedbookstosurvive #anorchestraofminorities #chigozieobioma #lifeafterlife #kateatkinson #theoverstory #richardpowers #ordinarypeople #dianaevans #outlander #dianagabaldon #thesecretary #reneeknight #kamilashamsie #homefire https://www.instagram.com/p/B_qCIX1ACvo/?igshid=1smda3ecqfv9r

Reading in the garden before the temperatures drop again. The air smells of green plants and fresh mountain air, and I think the novel I just started might be about trees. I want every day to be like today. Except a little warmer, and you know, without a pandemic. #theoverstory https://www.instagram.com/p/B-2pi8nJgZJ/?igshid=4qdr5hmq4qk3

The word ‘tree’ and the word ‘truth’ come from the same root. ~ Richard Powers
Of course I had to do a little investigating—the root is *dreu, a Proto-Indo-European root meaning "be firm, solid, steadfast”
What an exquisite koan in today’s world. To what do we remain firm, solid and steadfast? What do we let go of? And what does it mean to do both at the same time?

Sometimes you innocently choose a new book to read, thinking maybe it will be good, but really you’re just filling your time, only to have that book utterly change your life. This was one of those books. The Overstory by Richard Powers was a devastating novel, but in the best way possible. It absolutely made me reconsider how I view the world around me, what things I value, and what I can do to help. If you’re a general fan of the outdoors or a regular environmentalist, please read this book. Jasmine green tea by the riverside at @treehousepoint .

'The Overstory could be classified as a "thesis novel" that tries to answer the commercial claim of its back cover: if the trees could talk, what would they say to us?'

The Overstory Book Review | 📚📚📚📚📚 5/5 Richard Powers | W.W. Norton & Company The Overstory is a must-read, dense and thrilling trove of storytelling that deeply roots the existence of trees into relationships between our own individual selves with our families – traditional and non-; communities; humanity; globalism; individuality; and life, death, and whatever that even means. Why I was…

Zaterdag 19 december – Leestips. Boeken die wat mij betreft bij elkaar horen.
Tot in de hemel (The Overstory), van Richard Powers. Pulitzer prijs fictie 2019. Groots opgezette roman, maar eigenlijk een mix met wetenschap en politiek. Over bomen en mensen, en over dat alles met alles verbonden is. Niet in overdrachtelijke zin, maar echt.
Verruim je geest (How to Change Your Mind), van Michael Pollan. 2019, NY Times No1 bestseller. Het echte verhaal over geestverruimende middelen. Even wetenschappelijk als meeslepend. Hoe een niet-giftig en niet-verslavend middel in de ban ging omdat het de macht bedreigde.
