Building on that, if I loved the Southern Reach trilogy but think the premise of Borne sounds incredibly dumb, might I still enjoy Borne? I really wanna read more of his stuff, but none of it sounds particularly interesting to me.

i enjoyed it, though admittedly the setting is more campy than it is mysterious in comparison to the southern reach trilogy. regardless, the central relationship is well realized emotionally and the way he humanizes a non-human character feels authentic and interesting.

American Elsewhere is a really great spin on this sub genre.

Started reading this, I'm enjoying it a lot. Also as someone who uses the word very a lot and has been brow beaten over it, it's nice to see an author use it to good effect

This is an extremely niche ask. I want to learn about the nitty gritty of agriculture. How do farms decide where and what to plant? What are you looking at in dirt? What things do you need to do to get soil in a good state? What problems do you try to get ahead of?

I have zero background on this so I'm hoping something that makes it kind of accessible. I have no idea if what I'm looking for exists.

My friend is a professor on this exact subject anr I see her Reading things along this line all the time, I'll ask her next time we hang out and report back
