Waited and waited until the right time to read #RichardPowers #TheOverstory and am so glad I did. Started it this morning and am already floored.
I would have enjoyed it at any time but I'm in the right headspace to really connect with it - everything in its right place and all that.
Will use this as a root thread for thoughts along the way.

90 pages into The Overstory. I love the writing. I feel estranged by the lack of female protagonists and that it's pretty gender conservative. In the Douglas Pavlicek chapter I got all emotional over stubbed forest. And about the hope Douglas puts into each seedling: ".. saying goodbye to his plants as he tucks each one in. 'Hang on. Only ten or twenty decades. Child's play, for you guys. You just have to outlast us. Then no one will be left to fuck you over.'"

@CindySue @jaymeb @bookstodon It has, thanks! I’ve read a LOT of audiobooks and am making good progress on a print book. Most notably, I read #TheOverstory and #TheStarlessSea. Both were exceptional.
