Finished reading: Station 11 by Emily St. John Mandel 📚
A recommendation from @jordon. A great vacation read, would be a great anytime read. Funny and real and sad and poignant and hopeful. The power of art, our need for beauty, how desperation warps thinking, connection, regret, finding meaning. Lovely writing, characters I cared about.
Jordon Wadlington I’m so glad you enjoyed this! One of my very favorite meditations on art and it’s necessity to being a human
HBO did a mini-series that I thought was really well done and captured the spirit of the book, if you’re interested.
Alexandra I watched the TV adaption, I don’t know how true to the book it was, but that was enjoyable. I might give the book a read.
Jean MacDonald @alexink I was inspired to read the book after I watched the HBO series. Usually it’s the other way around. I enjoyed the book very much, and found it interesting to compare the two. I loved the series. So powerful.
annie's micro(b)log @jordon thanks so much for recommending it! I’ll definitely check out the series.
annie's micro(b)log @cheribaker I really liked it. Going to watch the show now and compare.
annie's micro(b)log @jean @alexink I’m definitely going to watch the adaptation now. Will be interesting to compare.
