Just finished a book club meeting talking about ’s (my one line review - she’s going to kick herself when she finally gets around to reading Heinlein and Dick). Had her habit of recycling characters pointed out and realise I probably ought to dig out that copy of I’ve got lying around and get around to actually reading it.

“STATION ELEVEN” is a ten-episode meditation on human civilization and whether it deserves to continue in any form familiar to us today. Created by Patrick Somerville, based on Emily St. John Mandel’s novel, I found it to be a MasterClass not just in television storytelling, but in humanity.

“What if it always is the end of the world?”

Ooooh I got sucked into this one, and I’m not big into time travel.

Reading and liking STATION ELEVEN by Emily St John Mandel although at first i had to fight a certain reluctance to plunge into a post-apocalyptic novel, particularly one set around a global pandemic. But Mandel (St John Mandel?) seems more interested in people, especially threads between people pre- and post- apocalypse, although there is a plotty thing happening with a cult in one town.

Another book finished.

This one was a bit of a nothing. Interesting premise but very disjointed and with no real climax, it just wanders along and then fizzles out.
