Reader’s Note
7 out of 10
Read over about a year, forty pages at a time, which is the correct dose. Seven. The pecan chapter is the one.

Slow and kind. I put it down for a month and it didn't mind. The sweetgrass chapter I read twice.8 out of 10@saltmarsh

Generous, patient, a little repetitive; I forgave it by the second section.9 out of 10@mossandink

The Overstory reviewed by @dnf_diaries
Finished, and I don't finish much. The opening section is eight short stories and it's the best thing I read all last year; the novel that grows out of it is baggier and I forgave it. Eight.8 out of 10The Overstory
Never Let Me Go reviewed by @dnf_diaries
Finished, then sat in the car a while before going in. Eight. He tells you what it is early on and it doesn't help at all.8 out of 10Never Let Me Go
