Sea of Tranquility: A Novel | Emily St. John Mandel

I read this book last year and remember feeling annoyed that I didn‘t predict the ending. I‘m giving it a reread, this time on audio, to see how it feels now that I understand where it‘s going.

This is the longest book I‘ve read on Serial Reader. 150 episodes means I started somewhere in April. Phew!

I haven‘t read an Oprah pick in ages, but this multi generational saga seems to be just what I was in the mood for. His writing is beautiful and I don‘t want it to end.

Before Mazer invented himself as Mazer, he was Samson Mazer, and before he was Samson Mazer, he was Samson Masur- a change of two letters that transformed him from a nice, ostensibly Jewish boy to a Professional Builder of Worlds - and for most of his youth, he was Sam, S.A.M. on the hall of fame of his grandfather‘s Donkey Kong machine, but mainly Sam.

That‘s one long #firstlinefriday !

So close! I resisted the temptation to count a currently reading book as completed and will just try again in 2023.

Happy New Year!

Leniverse If you started it in 2022 and manage to finish it within three days of 2023 it totally counts and you should just backdate it to 31. December. That's what I do. 😄 9mo
