We just put our pod up on YouTube - sounds right up your alley. You can see the covers of the books we’ve read in the previews. Always looking for feedback!

That really wasn’t my experience - I felt like I knew all of her characters really well, could picture them in my head and understood their motivations, and while I’m not always into heavily meta fiction, I’m really enamored with the way Sea of Tranquility responds to Station Eleven. I think you have to embrace a certain surrealist quality she has, where reading her stuff makes you feel a bit like you’re on mushrooms: Everything is, like, connected, man.

I might be in the minority, too, but I like shorter novels that don’t try to be grand epics or round out every possible detail. Like movies that are all over 2 hours now, it seems like so many books are stretching out past 400 pages. It’s just not necessary to tell a good story.

I couldn’t put this book down and thought about it A LOT for days afterward.

Yeah, I thought this book was GREAT. It’s smart and has something to say, but it’s still fun and doesn’t take itself too seriously. I thought there was some Atwood there in some of the satire, and maybe some Pynchon in the message-boarding. She just does a great job of inserting the weird and leftfield stuff without sacrificing pace or story.

I hope it makes some best of lists, because she totally deserves it.

You’ve basically just described how the internet works. You are not alone.

Imagining dragons in the Four Winds gave me a good laugh! So funny. Thanks!
