I love nature and walking through the woods observing things, so I thought I’d enjoy this, but it is so unbelievably dull that I can’t continue. I’m a completist and it takes a lot to get me to abandon reading something, but I’m abandoning this.

I took my time reading this to coincide it with my own year. It was always a pleasure to read a few pages of it every week or so.

An in-depth watch on an eastern US forest. Haskell shows the pattern and rhythm of a year of insects, plants, fungi, and animals in a forest clearing. A gently delightful read!

You can read this book from page 1 to the end, or skip around a bit and still enjoy it. The author uses some lovely phrases that are quite poetic.
