Braiding Sweetgrass vs The Glass Castle

I also loved Braiding Sweetgrass and really want to read the author's other two books, Gathering Moss and The Serviceberry, but haven't been able to yet.

Braiding Sweetgrass is a spectacular book that weaves Native American stories and botany together so beautifully. It felt like a journey to me and changed me fundamentally by the end.

If you want to have that experience with the natural world we live in today, I’d recommend Braiding Sweetgrass. A very different take on your questions about “what am I meant to do in this life” but I think everyone should read it.

For a really thorough and comprehensive analysis of our modern disconnect from the natural world, I strongly reccomend Robin Wall Kimmerer's Braiding Sweetgrass.

The Glass Castle .. it is a memoir, and the author was homeless already in a period of her life

The Glass Castle.

The Glass Castle (nonfiction) ... one can conquer their upbringing / past

I think about The Glass Castle to this day. It haunts me. Without any spoilers, there are parts that pop into my mind about children and poverty regularly. It’s rare that I read a book that actually changes me.
