I know it’s weird but I have hobbies and passions I’m currently too disabled to pursue.
So please let me live out the experiences in books.
Fiction or non. I’m not partial.
I just want to experience the tedious joys of fieldwork in nature, learning and cataloging various things, getting into the nitty gritty of the organisms around us.
I’m hot for nature and I want to be in the moment and see the beauty in small things.
Please and thank you.

Oh, please check out [Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17465453-the-signature-of-all-things). It’s such a beautifully written story involving a woman who is passionate about nature (specifically botany, and more specifically about one plant – I won’t spoil it for you). She travels and catalogues what she learns, and there is a bit of romance/unrequited love to boot.
I didn’t care for Gilbert’s *Eat, Pray, Love* – this is a far cry from that book.
Owls of the Eastern Ice by Johnathan Slaught is one of the most honest depictions of fieldwork I’ve read.
