One of Englander's ten favorite books, as shared at Vulture.com:
Station Eleven, Emily St. John Mandel

Feeling like your world is currently imploding? Here’s an I-couldn’t-put-it-down dystopian novel that makes the end of days kind of cheery (in the end). I just finished reading it, and am glad to have a place to sing its praises.
