I loved Entangled. I got there by way of The Overstory by Richard Powers, which led me to Finding The Mother Tree by Suzanne Simard (memoir from the woman who made a lot of discoveries about the mycorrhizal network and inspired a character in The Overstory). I think you would love her book. Then I had to read The Human Superorganism which goes into detail about our microbiome. Reframing the idea of what we are – essentially small ecosystems, not just human, is life changing. I started feeling a sense of responsibility for my bacterial passengers. 😄 I’ll check out The Flowering Wand, thanks!

I loved the Overstory! I will definitely check out Finding The Mother Tree. The Human Super-organism makes me think of We Contain Multitudes- have you read that one? So many BOOKS!
