I just read Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel , and it’s living rent free in my brain.

It was such a powerful book in so many ways. I loved the way the different storylines and characters were tied together, some intricately and some just loosely, as well as the multiple perspectives, timelines, and storylines.

I believe it was originally suggested to me as a book similar to the TV show LOST(2004-2010) and it did satisfy that quite well.

Other books that I have read and enjoyed in a similar vein include:

  • The Silo trilogy by High Howey ( Wool, Shift, and Dust)
  • Wayward Pines series by Blake Crouch (Pines, Wayward, and The Last Town)
  • Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh
  • MaddAddam Trilogy by Margaret Atwood (Oryx & Crake, the Year of the Flood, and MaddAddam)

Does anyone have any book suggestions for something similar I should look for?

Thanks!

    One of my favourite books is World Made By Hand by James Kunstler. It’s a lot like Station Eleven in its a post apocalyptic setting, and how the people that are left are getting by with what they have. Apparently it’s a series of books now too, I just discovered that when I looked it up to get the authors name right, so now I’ve got more to read in that world, yay!

    Thanks for asking this question, I’ve added a bunch to my reading list!

      That sounds perfect, thank you!

      I’m glad my question has helpful for you too! I have had so many amazing replies, I am excited to get ahold of a few of these books.
