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 w... annie.micro.blog

@Annie 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.

@Annie have you seen the TV show?

@Annie So good. One of my favs semi-annual reads. 📚

@Annie 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.

@alexink @Annie 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.

@jordon thanks so much for recommending it! I’ll definitely check out the series.

@cheribaker I really liked it. Going to watch the show now and compare.

@iChris I can definitely see rereading this one.

@jean @alexink I’m definitely going to watch the adaptation now. Will be interesting to compare.

@Annie so so good!!! (i haven’t read the book tho) i’ve read some of her other books after seeing the HBO show

@jean Now I really must read the book and see how they compare.

@Annie I’d be interested to hear your take on it too.
