Station Eleven: A Novel (National Book Award Finalist)
Emily St John Mandel
I can't recommend #StationEleven enough. Caught me completely by surprise as I knew nothing about it. The characters and storyline totally swept me up. Episode 7 is one of the very best hours of TV. To me, it's right up there with #TheLeftovers. https://t.co/jVeHB1uNV7

Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
Ryder Windham
Great Scene: “Star Wars: Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back” (1980). Compare script to screen: On Dagobah, Luke has a mysterious battle with Darth Vader... and makes a shocking discovery. The scene totally Jungian. https://t.co/esIjheYeDf #movies #screenwriting #writing
