As a tree man; probably someone in your house should read these 2 for you; and tell you what they think:
The_Giving_Tree
and the legend of
I give both of these books to newborns of friends and family. The parents usually say someting to me a few years later about what great stories and cool books, and especially coming from a treeguy like you..............
Title is "Sometimes a GREAT Notion", a line that Kesey plucked from a drunken blues tune by leadbelly ("Sometimes I live in the country, sometimes I live in the town. Sometimes I get a great notion, to fall into the river and drown.")
Ken Kesey aka Captain Trips, notorious as a Merry Prankster. They drove around in an old school bus, dispensing LSD in fruit drinks, which led to The Electric Koolaid Acid Test, a book that captured a bit of the craziness.
The bus parked for a time near the Strybing Arboretum at Golden Gate Park, not a bad place for impressionable youth to drink koolaid and check out the trees. At least that's what I heard...
""Cutting Down Huge Trees in Urban Places" By Alpine Jesus
Excellent story line, and very informational, I'm sure after reading this novel you will surly have an epiphany; in fact you will never be the same!"
AJ is your effort really grounds for self-deification, or self-demonization? If all you do is whack em, could be the latter. Too much of that work and too little else will surely give you a SURLY, mean-spirited epiphany.
Interesting misspelling/Freudian Slip there. Anyhoo, care to share a chapter with us lowly mortals so we can feel the Revelation and the Rapture?

"Laughter and Tears Through My Logging Years" by Delbert Nuxoll.
Good read, short book. About the life of an Idaho logger. I can't remember if I got from Bailey's or Madsen's, I think Madsen's. I think the guy worked there or something.

Just got finished with "The Wild Trees" by Richard Preston. It's a must read for anyone who has ever pulled them self up on a rope or ever felt a passion towards trees. Also for anyone who can appreciate good writing, imo Preston really did a good job writing this story.
I am also almost done with "Adirondack French Louie", quite a character this Louie.

"Oak- The Frame of Civilization" by William Bryant Logan, "A Sand County Almanac" by Aldo Leopold, and "To a God Unknown" by John Steinbeck.
I also recommend "The Wild Trees" Makes me want to take a trip to NorCal.
