Ben Goldfarb's most recent book, "Crossings", is an excellent look at the roads around us and how they impact wildlife, so if you liked Eager, I'd pick up that too. In the animal vein, I'm currently reading "Jaws", which is a fun time (although I'm shocked to find out Spielberg cut out both the mafia and a wild romance plot from the movie, what a rookie)
Yeah, I'm definitely interested, though I'll probably need a break between hearing books detailing all the different ways wildlife has inadvertently suffered over the years. But overall, I find it encouraging, even so.
Thank you for this column, for continuing the age-old tradition of one friend recommending a book to another. I've always meant to read The Game, and now you've given me that needed nudge in the right direction.
Epic fantasy book recommendations also always welcome. 😉 (Yeah, there was those 10+ years of learning English in school, but what really did it? Of course fantasy books.)
You gotta start with Tolkien, but after that, I get really picky. Sanderson is more YA fiction, and the Name of the Wind is excellent, but don’t expect sequels that come close to the original, or that exist.
Oh yeah, Tolkien is one of those who taught me English. Waiting for that nonexistent sequel, frustrated and surely for nothing. But luckily that's just life. 😁

It’s moderately optimistic in parts (and full of people I know so I’m obligated to endorse it)
That's more than good enough for me.

I do so love the way you write!
It's a great tradition, isn't it? Thanks for the kind words!
