I came upon it last night while reading. I do believe it has sealed it for me as a Solnit fan too. Emily, that's right, if you can't read them, talk about them :) Dorothy, you'll definitely like this one. It is quiet and contemplative. TJ, and even though I was early there were about 200 people ahead of me! I would have bought a lot more than I did but I have also learned that it's a waste if I buy more than I have time and energy to plant. Between Dark Orpheus and I we will have everyone reading the Solnit book :) Litlove, LOL! If only I was as efficient at the digging, planting and weeding! Dark Orpheus, nice quote!

I am most impressed by your plant buying efficiency. We could do with some of that around here. Just bottle it and send it over, could you? ;) The Solnit sounds most intriguing - oh no, one more for the topply pile! I am most impressed by your plant buying efficiency.

Wow. Plants for only $1.50! No wonder you arrived so early! Thank you for the taste of the Solnit book which I will order from the library as I'm still off the new-book-buying (: for a while. And thanks to Dark Orpheus for the extended and beautiful quotation. Sounds like just my cup of tea. I too aspire to having less and less yard and more and more garden. Wow. Plants for only $1.50!

She really is a fabulous writer. I’ve got the Solnit book on my shelves, and between you and Dark Orpheus, I’m thinking more and more about picking it up! She really is a fabulous writer.
