We will discuss Walking Seasonal Roads by Mary A. Hood. Mary Hood has traveled nearly every seasonal road in Steuben County, New York. As a literary naturalist, Hood reflects on endangered species and invasive species, as well as on issues of conservation and sustainability. From state forests to potato fields, from development along Keuka Lake to vineyards, from old family cemeteries to logging sites, her book is a celebration and an honoring of place, illustrating the ways we connect to our home and to each other.

We will discuss Station Eleven: A Novel by Emily St. John Mandel. Mandel’s 2014 novel opens in Toronto as a flu pandemic quickly brings civilization to a collapse worldwide. Among the survivors is a small troupe of actors and musicians who roam from town to town along the shores of the Great Lakes without electricity, running water, gas, pharmaceuticals, or the Internet. Spanning 20 years, the twists and turns in this postapocalyptic page-turner will draw you into an altered existence you haven’t yet imagined.
