“This virus is going to be with us forever,” @DavidQuammen warns in his new book "Breathless." “And those viruses have nowhere to hide except within humans.” Great review by @MichaelSimsBook https://t.co/uzykcRzczO

“The Heat Will Kill You First” is part travelogue, part science lesson—and entirely fascinating. Love this interview with @PhoebeNeidl, who used to be my editor @RollingStone and was hugely influential in shaping the stories in my new book. https://t.co/5iQOmlNVOx

One measure of how much America has changed: John Steinbeck, who died on this day in 1968, wrote Grapes of Wrath in a house in what is now Silicon Valley. https://t.co/Hy7JJxbQMe

Doug Peacock's Grizzly Years, which he wrote after returning from a stint as a medic in the Vietnam war, is a great book by a person with a profound feeling for wild animals and the spiritual power of wilderness.

@lizweil Just reading Robert Caro’s “Working” in which the slowness of writing is described as most important part of his process (I wouldn’t know, too lost in three-year-long book project to give it any real thought). 😊

New book from the author of "Big Wonderful Thing," the excellent and remarkable history of Texas that reads like the tale of a mythical place -- which it sorta is. https://twitter.com/stephenharrigan/status/1481986446277980168

Gotta love @ClimateEnvoy for bringing the Pope a copy of Richard Power's The Overstory. It's a great novel -- trees sing, experience pain, remember the past, predict the future. And it's a book in which the main (human) character asks "What the f*ck went wrong with Mankind?" https://t.co/ZrXA8LApNL
