I am sorry that you don't find my book selection interesting. I found all four of these books fascinating and two were incredibly inspiring. But reading choices are deeply personal.
While I agree that there is great sadness in the world, I seek to understand and learn more about the world, nature and humans - warts and all. Thanks for reading and your comment.
So sorry to hear you got Covid... Hope you heal swiftly and completely!
I always find your newsletters interesting and appreciate the information you share. I thought you would appreciate the book I'm reading (If you haven't read it yet): "Becoming Vegetalista" by Stephen Buhner. It is not like any of his other books; very autobiographical about his journey with the plants. It is the last book and the last thing he wrote before he died. I appreciate him sharing his story.
So nice to hear from you! And thank you for your kind words.
I am a big fan of Buhner's writing - have several of his books. I meant to order Vegetalista but then it got forgotten. Thanks for the reminder. He is a tremendous loss but left a wonderful legacy of thinking.
These all sound like excellent books! My online book club has just started reading Wild Spectacle - wonderful.
Commiserations with Covid. I had it last December for the first time; I hope to avoid future bouts, as it was not a fun experience. Hope your improvement continues rapidly.
Wonderful post. Thank you!
How about recommending some books that are cheerful and interesting? We live with so much sadness everyday.

Wonderful that your book club is reading it!
Yes COVID is not on the fun list, for sure. I will resume mask wearing while this uptick is happening.
