Station Eleven: A Novel (National Book Award Finalist)

Emily St John Mandel

I’m re-reading Station Eleven and it’s hitting me so much harder this time…for obvious reasons. Also in awe because the world and characters @EmilyMandel created are so strong that the (excellent) HBO show could take significant liberties and it still all hangs together.

I love that @TheMorningNews' Tournament of Books and March Madness happen at the same time. Brackets all around me. Lauren Groff's Matrix (which I loved) just defeated J. Robert Lennon's Subdivision, which I now want to read. https://themorningnews.org/tob/2022/matrix-v-subdivision.php

. @bermanjeff and @bfwalter having a bracing conversation at @upfrontvc Summit about Walter's book How Civil Wars Start and How to Stop Them. That book is an eye-opener; I highly recommend it. https://t.co/SMtjtniJd8

Red: A Fractured Fairy Tale

J. E. Taylor

Love this from @amynw on Taylor's Red being the antithesis of 'cool girl.' "She takes up space, is inconvenient, calls out her exes on their shit (while making great music) and dares to name her emotions for exactly what they are." https://t.co/bfO8Q0USgm
