The Overstory (Richard Powers)

"First there was nothing. Then there was everything.
Then, in a park above western city after dusk, the air is raining messages.
A woman sits on the ground, leaning against a pine. 
It's bark presses hard against her back, as hard as life.
It's needles scent the air and a force hums in the heart of the wood...."


This is the opening paragraph of Richard Powers' The Overstory - I am already entranced and cannot wait to sink my teeth into this book!

eleanor oliphant is completely fine (gail honeyman)

"A philosophical question: if a tree falls in a forest and no-one is
around to hear it,does it make a sound?
And if a woman who's wholly alone occasionally talks
to a pot plant, is she certifiable?
I'm confident that it is perfectly normal
to talk to oneself occasionally.
It's not as though I'm expecting a reply.
I'm fully aware that Polly
is a houseplant"

    Thank you so much for being here! This is my little 'book blog' where I write about what I'm currently reading, or what books I'm surrounding myself with. 
    Not necessarily formal 'book reviews', but a bit of a braindump of what I've learned from a particular book or author, or maybe even a simple quote that has inspired me:) Book recommendations are encouraged and welcomed! x
