How did your weekend reading go? If you planned on anything specifically, did you read it? (Reminder link to intended weekend reading post)

(Posting a bit earlier than usual because I'm away until late Thursday night.)

Emma by Alexander McCall Smith. Really odd updating, which somehow manages to make it far lower stakes than the original and has everyone's characterisation all over the shop, especially Mr Woodhouse and Frank Churchill's, neither of whom are allowed to pose any real threat to Emma herself.

Station Eleven by Emily St John Mandel which, broadly speaking, I loved (has this fallen out of Hugo eligibility, by any chance?) Some awkwardnesses of phrasing, but I carried on thinking about it long after finishing it, even though what I'd originally hoped for was a Slings and Arrows post apocalpse.
