hi there! recently, ive finished the book fishing for the little pike / summer fishing in lapland and i found it to be the perfect kind of book for me and so im now looking for more books like that. im a birdwatcher, an ecology student and someone who loves animals and nature in general and so i really enjoy seeing these topics in my books. thats also why i enjoye where the crawdads sing back in the day, i just did not like the detective aspect of that book as much. also, im looking for fiction, not non fiction, of course. ill be happy for all the reccommendations!!

I know just the author: Gerald Durrell. Naturalist/conservationist. His Corfu Trilogy is a memoir of his time in Corfu as a young boy (WWII era) where his love of nature blossomed. The individual titles are *My Family and Other Animals*; *Birds Beasts and Relatives*; and *The Garden of the Gods*. Beautiful books.
You should also read *Silent Spring* by Rachel Carson (started the modern environmental movement) and most anything by E.O. Wilson.
I liked The Forest Unseen: A Year’s Watch in Nature
You want to read about nature in fiction. I think nature plays a big role in Robbie Arnott’s Rain Heron and also Dusk.
Vaster wilds of by Luren Groff and The wall by Marlen Haushofer have in common that they have a sole character in nature with little to no other human characters.
Obviously Jack London.
