Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel

Wowzers! Usually I stay away from post-apocalyptic fare, but this one includes an epidemic and I love epidemics! Have you watched the movie Contagion??

A famous actor dies in the middle of King Lear, a flu pandemic sweeps over the world, and the survivors form small cities.

I couldn't put it down! I'm getting ready to leave on a trip, and I have a long To-Do list of what I need to pack and prepare. Finishing Station Eleven was at the top of the list because I don't travel with library books and I couldn't leave this at home without finishing it.
