What Fiction are you reading this week, July 14, 2019

[hermetic]

Sending love and concern to our brothers and sisters dealing with severe weather/flooding right now.

Reading Ian Rankin's A Question of Blood. Inspector Rebus is wonderfully snarky and funny but then makes you think seriously about circumstances plaguing the people of Scotland, which are common to us all. One of Rankin's best, I think.

Listening to The Overstory, a monumental novel about reimagining our place in the living world, by Richard Powers. “There is a world alongside ours―vast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive, and almost invisible to us. This is the story of a handful of people who learn how to see that world and who are drawn up into its unfolding catastrophe.”

I love this story. It is very personal for me and not only because some of it takes place in states where I have lived.
If you are someone who feels a strong connection to nature, especially to trees, I cannot recommend this book enough.
