The Overstory is a novel by Richard Powers published in 2018 by W. W. Norton …
Started reading this morning. Already astoundingly beautiful. A slow read. I think I'll be with this for a while.
This new world weighs a yatto-gram.
But everything is trial-size; tread-on-me-tiny or blurred-out-offocus huge. There …
Wonderful. Winterson claims that the mind can't tell the difference between the past and future. Only now and not now. And the story goes round and round and round.
Until he was thirty-two, Charlie Gordon --gentle, amiable, oddly engaging-- had lived in a kind …
This was part of my middle school curriculum. I initially read it in seventh grade and a few times later in my early teens. This is one of the few books that I have a full memory of. It haunted me. It still does. Is it better to have something and lose it or never have it at all?
Until he was thirty-two, Charlie Gordon --gentle, amiable, oddly engaging-- had lived in a kind of mental twilight. He knew …

Lots of useful information on writing poetry and exercises to practice the concepts learned. It's like taking a class without the tuition. If you're like me and know next to nothing about the mechanics of poetry writing, this book is for you.

Anne, an eleven-year-old orphan, is sent by mistake to live with a lonely, middle-aged brother …
My mother was a teenager when she gave birth to me. She read this book while she was pregnant and, when I was born, she named me after the protagonist. Anne with an "E". I first read this book when I was nine years old, sitting in a car during a rainstorm. I started in the morning and finished just as it was getting dark and my mother called me inside. I've read it many times since, along with the entire series. It gave me a safe world to live in. I love them all.
In an urgent and visceral work that asks essential questions about the treatment of Native …
These essays illuminate a lot of my own family memories and traumas. This makes it both a difficult read and a nostalgic read. Going home when home is a difficult place brings up feelings that are difficult to explain to people outside of those experiences but Alicia manages to bring the reader in without turning her stories into trauma porn.
A beautiful gut punch of a read.

A page turner. Engaging story and characters. Didn't care for the red herring. Felt like it should've gone somewhere but fizzled out without comment from what I remember.

Masterful writing. I loved it from beginning to end and will, likely, read it many more times
I'm not even sure I can call this a novel so much as an experience. Intensely poetic and crass, the main character's narrative slips in and out of dreams and, by the end of the book, a character of legend. The unflinching look at childhood trauma can be difficult to read.
