“I got to this paragraph on page 5 of The Story of More and I’m just like, chef kiss at this prose. The book is superb for intro Env Sci classes, but also a lesson for scientists in how to write with awesomeness. Thanks much to @HopeJahren!”

Consider The Overstory by Richard Powers. Recommended by 17 sources.
“A literary novel that interlaces multiple human stories over centuries, all orbiting around trees and the natural world. The reading pace is slow, lyrical, and demands attention, but rewards those who love richly layered narratives. What works best is its deep, almost spiritual evocation of tree life and a call to environmental consciousness. However, the novel’s sprawling cast and sometimes preachy activism can feel exhausting, and the middle sections may drag as connections slowly emerge. It’s immersive for the patient, alienating for the plot-driven.”
