This was so full of facts, I feel like I need to reread it about four times just to get a good grip on everything. Still, I really enjoyed this and have an entirely new (enhanced!) view of trees. I’d recommend this to anyone that enjoys taking walks in the woods, or anyone who likes a well-written piece of nonfiction. ]]>

Review7506149611 Tue, 10 Jun 2025 19:48:39 -0700 <![CDATA[Caitlin added 'There's Always This Year: On Basketball and Ascension']]> /review/show/7506149611 There's Always This Year by Hanif Abdurraqib Caitlin gave 4 stars to There's Always This Year: On Basketball and Ascension (Hardcover) by Hanif Abdurraqib
Hanif Abdurraqib is an author I will always read, regardless of subject matter, regardless of genre. His prose shines, and his ability to craft a long essay that ultimately ties up all of its loose ends never fails to impress me. I always enjoy spending time with his work.

All of that being said, I think this could’ve been cut down about 50 pages shorter. I’m also a little disappointed that it didn’t end with the 2016 NBA finals, though I can respect the choice to end with Lebron’s return. As a Buffalo Bills fan, I really resonated with Abdurraqib’s commentary on being from a city that loves its sport teams who just can’t seem to pull it together. ]]>

Though there were aspects of this book that I didn’t fully enjoy or understand the reasoning behind, I liked this overall. Mason’s prose is funny and heartfelt and well constructed, and this is one of the most honest depictions of mental health that I’ve read.

I would recommend this to anyone that liked The Wedding People! ]]>
