Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer

Annihilation is our second place selection for November. We decided to choose a second book for people who want to have a little more variety and want to do more than one book in a month. I am looking forward to the discussion on this one. I saw the movie when it came out but am really interested to experience the story in book form.

    Nice, literally finished it yesterday. Surprised at how different the second book is so far.

    I love how fuzzy and surreal everything is in annihilation.

    I’m kind of interested in watching the film again, but I want to let the book settle in first, since the story and setting felt so different to me then what I remember from the film.

    An initial scene with a boar basically had me reliving princess mononoke while reading, it was very surprising and wonderful.
