Let us know what you're reading during March! We're taking a break from the Monday night book club discussions and are preparing for the Summer Reading Club, so give us some ideas!

I just finished "Station Eleven" by Emily St. John Mandel and it was great. It's a post-apocalyptic story, but it's not at all about the actual "fall of civilization." It's about the connections that people make in a crisis, memory and how life goes on, just under different terms. Mandel uses a lot of restraint by not making it too gaudy or gross, and nothing is typical or cliched.
