A sweet little story of life growing up in the 1940’s in Queensland Australia. Very true to the times & evoked many memories

Excellent and courageous

Excellent, honest memoir that’s truly inspirational with the hope of true healing

Entangled Life is not a quick read, but went faster than I expected. I don’t know much about mushrooms, lichen, etc. This is very sciency, but clear. I can promise how much I’ll remember. The chapter on radical mycology — using fungi to help break down litter like used diapers, cigarette butts, even some plastics — is probably the most worth reading.

One of our family favories!

This was a really good mystery book.

This is a good introduction to the history of Indigenous peoples in the Americas as told by them. The interactions between Indigenous and non-Indigenous groups is the main focus. The big events, like Andrew Jackson’s defiance of the Supreme Court and the Trail of Tears, I knew from high school American history. Others I have read about in a collection of biographies of women during the western expansion, Gold Rush, etc. It’s a short book, not meant to be comprehensive. And it has its own biases. The only real mention of African-Americans and Indigenous peoples is a positive paragraph under “Reclaiming Our Music” listing famous musicians with both heritages. There’s nothing about owning black slaves that was part of George Washington’s requirements for Indigenous peoples to prove they were civilized enough to be treated like white settlers. It’s still a well-written history of things glossed over or completely disappearing from history books and classes, and therefore worth reading.

If you like Lee Child.

Loved it! It made me laugh.

Very good story by a master storyteller. Mixed fiction with fact, and made me want to watch a baseball game.
