I'm glad you joined the book club. We need a male voice. I liked the stuff he wrote about trees.~~Dee Bill, it wasn’t the best gardening book I ever read. I’m glad you joined the book club.

He has one about building a sort of writing house, and I really think he wrote it as a means to show how scholarly he could be. Real overkill on the research. I’ve read most of Pollan’s books.

Though highly touted, Second Nature turned out to be a book I could just not get into enough to finish, or to get to the good parts. I'm told chapter 10 is the best, so I may just skip ahead to that, or try Botany of Desire to see how I like that or find the part he wrote about seed catalogs.
