About that chaos -- it traces back directly to the Tea Party. IOW familiar names like Steve Scalise, Mick Mulvaney, Louie Gohmert, Michelle Bachman. Direct line forward to maga-ism and a direct line back to Gingrich's obstructionist agenda during Clinton. GOP hasn't wanted to govern for decades.
My first read by Emily St. John Mandel was The Glass Castle, and it really didn't grab me, but when Station Eleven was published I gave her another try. Station Eleven is worth it when you have time for another go. It's beautifully written, and ultimately about the connections between very human beings in an unthinkable world - . The HBO series is compelling and intimate and some of the best TV I've seen in years.

Elizabeth Strout has been a DELIGHTFUL discovery for me, too, this year. I love her books so much, and have just been ripping through them.
