I've been trying to slog through this, but I just can't finish it.
Very interesting times and ideas, but the writing is very dry and repetitive. Some things are repeated too many times, other things are mentioned once but never explained, and I give up.
The most interesting point I got was about Financialization- the shift from big money being made by merchants to companies with investments.

This took me a while to get through. I savored large parts of it, and got bored with a few parts, but on the whole, I loved it and am glad I read it. The chapters on Shadow and Depth probably struck me with the most wow moments.

Short but very interesting.

I'm listening to the audiobook of this. I bought it several years ago when I had an Audible credit to use or lose, and I chose it because I loved the author's first book, Spell of the Sensuous. It's ready by the author, and I can see how some people might not like him or his voice, but it's super interesting and engaging and has all sorts of interesting thoughts and perspectives about how we interact with nature.

This is short and wonderful and I don't want to put it down.
I don't know where I heard of it, but I was looking for something from my list that the library had an ebook copy available of, and I'm so glad they did.

Started out interesting, but getting a bit dry and boring. Maybe the last section will be better.

I'm very confused, and shouldn't have started this series before the last books were written. :(

I'm learning that stress/tension/anger are probably making me more susceptible to frozen shoulder, on top of the hypothyroidism and perimenopause. Add in post covid inflammation, and it all makes sense. This guy is a little woo, but has some emotional healing techniques, anti-inflammatory tips, a medical description of what's happen in each of the 4 phases, and hopefully I can speed things along and heal.

Wow, I know I've read Angle of Repose twice and loved it, but I'm amazed at how much I apparently like Stegner. I'm really enjoying this, especially the social observations and thoughts .
