Usually, I simply post a book that I read that I liked - no real text or description because I'm usually just keeping a visual scrapbook of the books I like.

But #theoverstory merits a something special. I meant to finish this for #earthday but finished this morning as soon as I woke up. Even as I was reading, I kept thinking about what this book meant to me. That remains elusive.

Has anyone ever captured the essence of so many different trees as #richardpowers ? Not just *a* tree but chestnuts and firs and beeches and sycamores and lodgepole pines. I have spent a lot of time in forests but could never make a tree come alive in words this way - partly because I am guilty of not looking at them the way this beautiful book reminds us to.

At the same time that 'treeness' becomes so real, I don't think I have read such moving descriptions of love and relationships in a very long time.

So basically, thanks for this book.

I'm (still) sad and cynical about the future, but you've helped me see what I/we am/are losing in a crushingly beautiful way.

"Bewilderment" is a captivating and painful read about parenting and our failure to care for the world, woven in short evocative chapters. Unfortunately, those chapters too often gloss over nuance and complexity, and incautious readers may accept premises about our culture (on education, on medicine, on environmental science, on politics) that are rather misleading if taken as complete answers.

Richard M. Powers cover art for the 1982 paperback edition of Robert A. Heinlein’s “The Number of the Beast.” Powers is credited with introducing elements of cubism and surrealism to sci-fi art in the ‘50s and ‘60s, a break with the comic-book and pulp-derived style that was prevalent. He died in 1996. . #richardpowers #richardmpowers #robertheinlein #robertaheinlein #numberofthebeast #scifiart #paperbackcover https://www.instagram.com/p/ByYxN5Rl2OS/?igshid=15zut03jjrakn

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

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?' https://www.delibris.org/en/overstory
