Welcome to Litsy!

This is the second Michael Pollan book I‘ve listened to this year, and once again it did not disappoint. He has a keen ability of making his subject accessible to the layperson. In The Botany of Desire his main conceit is to present the reader/listener with a view of humanity from the perspective of 4 different plants: apples, tulips, cannabis, and the potato. I‘m not sure if he really stays true to his thesis, but the plethora of info is great.

1. When little, a “stewardess” 😂 because I flew a lot to see distant family and thought it looked exciting. When a little older, an Egyptologist.
2. I am an extremely over-educated paraprofessional in a kindergarten class.
3. Lately, a lot of 70s music because reminds me of simpler times and it soothes me.

Today‘s prompt for #BoundTogetherJune is Fruit on the cover.
Apples, potatoes, marijuana, and tulips are the stars of this collection of connected essays, which leave you wondering, who‘s in control? The plants or us? The writing style makes the science accessible to the average Nicole.
