- dmje 4y agoJust finished this and came here to mention it. Amazing, beautiful and sad book. It made me think about timescales very much: if trees moved at human scale time, we'd think about them in a totally different way, and I'm sure would be very much more open to the notion that they're intelligent in many ways.
