My Top 3 Books of 2023
<p><em>I think, as a species, we have a desire to believe that we’re living at the climax of the story. It’s a kind of narcissism. We want to believe that we’re uniquely important, that we’re living at the end of history, that now, after all these millennia of false alarms, now is finally the worst that it’s ever been, that finally we have reached the end of the world.”</em></p>
<p><em>Mandel, Emily St. John. Sea of Tranquility: A novel (p. 199). Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group. Kindle Edition.</em></p>
<p>There are so many things I love about this book. It is subtly intertwined with Station Eleven and The Glass Hotel, but easily stands alone. If you haven’t read the other two novels, you probably wouldn’t even realize this book references any others. The writing is beautiful.</p>
