The Overstory by Richard Powers. A few touching stories about trees and Americans. One of the best things I've read this decade, perhaps this lifetime.

Same! I typically struggle with long books, and especially those written in such rich language, but wowee this book was a phenomenonal punch to the stomach
I totally agree, this was my best read of the year too.
So beautiful but so morbid. I had to pause it as I started getting depressed.
