"Started reading this back in October 2025, shortly after it came out. But circumstances were soon too unfavourable, so I picked up the book again, restarted it in December. Going smoother now. Wonderfully written, but what a throat-gripping tale. Not something to get happy from, but a clear reflection of the dark side (and resilience) of mankind in situations of social and ecological collapse. Food for present times." Jan 15, 2026 01:08AM

"Yes, still going... very slowly, also because you have to keep your mind to it, even if it's a bit of a page-turner. Circumstances just don't allow me to go faster, also as other books come in-between." Jun 10, 2024 12:40AM

“Buddha’s words: A tree is a wondrous thing that shelters, feeds, and protects all living things. It even offers shade to the axmen who destroy it.”
Richard Powers, The Overstory

“What you make from a tree should be at least as miraculous as what you cut down.”
Richard Powers, The Overstory

“People aren’t the apex species they think they are. Other creatures-bigger, smaller, slower, faster, older, younger, more powerful-call the shots, make the air, and eat sunlight. Without them, nothing.”
Richard Powers, The Overstory

“Alors retiens aussi cette deuxième leçon: la fierté ne t'attirera que des ennuis si tu te fais attraper. Colle-la dans ton froc et fais plutôt mine d'être désolé et d'avoir été obligé par quelqu'un. Invente ce que tu veux, mais ne provoque jamais ceux qui te tiennent en leur pouvoir. Jamais.”
Fabien Cerutti, Le Fou prend le Roi

Richard Powers
“You and the tree in your backyard come from a common ancestor. A billion and a half years ago, the two of you parted ways. But even now, after an immense journey in separate directions, that tree and you still share a quarter of your genes. . . .”
Richard Powers, The Overstory
