Black Leopard, Red Wolf: Dark Star Trilogy 1 | Marlon James

Eight hours in, 16 left to go in this audiobook. I need a break from the sexual violence and scatological references. “You annoy me like a scratch on the inside of my asshole” is one of the milder ones.

crazyspine Haha oh god. I bought this one because I figured even if I don't like it, the cover is cool. 5y

Prairiegirl_reading I couldn‘t finish his other book and I‘m glad that scared me off this one from the sound of this! 🤣 5y

CouronneDhiver Interesting reference... quite happy that I can‘t relate 😂😂 5y

Eager: The Surprising, Secret Life of Beavers and Why They Matter | Ben Goldfarb

pick

5 stars. Part natural history, part plea to bring beavers back to landscapes. Excellent writing. Ben is smart, funny and passionate about beavers! Solastalgia: the emotional distress we feel at witnessing the destruction of beloved homelands: the dissonance of change, the rapidity of loss, the disorientation wrought by environmental grief. Soliphilia: the notion of political commitment to saving loved home environments.

SamAnne This book is like a really great New Yorker article. If you think you aren‘t interested in beavers, river restoration, natural history, it will suck you in. A great book for the lay person as well as folks like me involved in river restoration. 5y

Hooked_on_books My house backs onto a creek and I‘ve seen a couple of beavers there. I may have to read this one! 5y

SamAnne #Hooked_on_books Ben just won a PEN award and it was listed in WaPost‘s top ten non-fiction books for 2018. It‘s a great read. I used to have a neighbor beaver too. I love them. 5y

Lindy Stacked. I‘m a fan of beavers and their water engineering feats too. If you want more along these lines:

The Beaver Manifesto

SamAnne #Lindy thanks for the recommend. Will check it out!! 5y
