My Top 3 Books of 2023

<p><em>I think, as a species, we have a desire to believe that we&rsquo;re living at the climax of the story. It&rsquo;s a kind of narcissism. We want to believe that we&rsquo;re uniquely important, that we&rsquo;re living at the end of history, that now, after all these millennia of false alarms, now is finally the worst that it&rsquo;s ever been, that finally we have reached the end of the world.&rdquo;</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&rsquo;t read the other two novels, you probably wouldn&rsquo;t even realize this book references any others. The writing is beautiful.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/wrcjournal/my-top-3-books-of-2023-2115efc4fae8"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
