What Members Thought
Robert Macfarlane is a British nature writer; I previously read his 2019 book Underland: A Deep Time Journey. His 2025 book Is a River Alive? takes a similar meandering approach, exploring the sociocultural ecosystems around rivers more than the purely scientific ecosystems. I found it very difficult to engage with this book given the many circuitous narrative threads and wandering attention. This was a DNF at 64% of the 11 hour audiobook after multiple failed attempts to reengage.
