jesus christ this is my second favorite book of all time and no one has ever heard of it !!!
rodeoshrimp I gotta know what number one is now because this is the best to me
martinez the starless sea. very different vibes but i love it. but yeah emily st. john mandel and erin morgenstern are my two favorite authors by a long shot !!
rodeoshrimp Sea of Tranquility was great, I feel like I'll appreciate Glass Hotel more if I ever revisit it, and didn't super connect with Last Night In Montreal, but I'll probably keep reading her work in search of the rush I got from reading S11. And I've never read any Morgenstern, but I've heard of The Starless Sea. will definitely try to check it out soon if it's as good as you say it is
martinez sea of tranquility definitely had me writing out notes to make sure i understood how it all came together lmao. and glass hotel didn’t really captivate me as much? but i saw a review that said her writing was “hauntingly lyrical” which i think is such a perfect description. also starless sea and the night circus are amazing, but definitely more magic/fantasy esc than mandel (:
rodeoshrimp I’m back and have read the Starless Sea! I wish I’d taken your note and taken notes because I was so lost so much of the time lol I think I might’ve enjoyed it more had it been easier to follow, but I can also see the similarities in structure to S11 and understand why it’s beloved

rodeoshrimp I believe the closest comparison to a book like The Starless Sea that I've read is Same Bed Different Dreams by Ed Park. Came out late last year, a little on the long side (at least to me since I tend to stick to books around 300 pages lol), but it definitely had similar energy and structure and mystery, and I think it'd be something you'd enjoy. :) Kindness is pretty easy when it's as simple as indulging in my favorite hobby, but I'd be so happy to hear of anything else you recommend!!
martinez just ordered it (: it’ll take a few days to come and then i gotta read it but i will let you know what i think!!
oops I didn’t read the book first 🤫 but loved the show! One of the most interesting post-apoc shows of the last while. better than The Last of Us…
This has reminded me to pick it up, thanks!
