In the draft I talked about how it kind of defied classification ... post apocalyptic elements, reads like literary fiction, etc... and how it pulled me slightly out of my comfort zone. I would like to try something else by this author, yet it's strange that I don't find myself recommending Station Eleven.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-21348553520844491252015-07-10T09:29:02.135-04:002015-07-10T09:29:02.135-04:00I can't find your review of Station Eleven. :(...I can't find your review of Station Eleven. :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-86915322772425608922015-02-02T22:43:04.419-05:002015-02-02T22:43:04.419-05:00All of that but at least no snow!

My daughter said there was a line of people waiting outside to get into the Trader Joe's in Chelsea yesterday.<br /><br />Last Night at the Lobster was excellent - a good place to start with O'Nan. It is very short and shows all his strengths... beautiful writing, a real understanding of ordinary people, their lives, and emotions. I also loved Emily, Alone, but that one is even better if you read Wish You Were Here first.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-91092062910142138222015-01-26T20:18:39.065-05:002015-01-26T20:18:39.065-05:00Ti - Now THAT sounds really scary... and expensive...Ti - Now THAT sounds really scary... and expensive!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-49126534390692413802015-01-26T18:52:32.239-05:002015-01-26T18:52:32.239-05:00Sorry to hear about all those annoyances, but glad...Sorry to hear about all those annoyances, but glad things are looking up!
