I only get to read/watch a fraction of the things I want to during a year.  So I asked friends over on Facebook to recommend one thing from 2016 that I should experience, be it book, film, comic or otherwise.  Here’s a partial consolidated list with my comments:

• Station Eleven (novel that clearly has staying power and crossover appeal)
• Manifest Destiny (comics series)
• Paul Simon, Stranger to Stranger (album that I’ve really enjoyed over the year, esp. opening track, “The Werewolf”)
• Providence (comics series by Alan Moore, which I will definitely read though I’m likely not cut out for his 1,000+-word novel, Jerusalem).
• Swans, The Glowing Man (album)
• Midnight Special (a film that I missed completely but will now seek out)
• City of Blades (part of Robert Jackson Bennett series that sounds very cool)
• Hark, A Vagrant (web comic series)
• Miss Sloan (film)
• This is Us (TV series)
• Rotör (band, who clearly understand how to use röck umlauts)
• Hell or High Water (I loved this movie)
• The Book of Ralph (novel by Christopher Steinsvold with a pretty funny SF premise)
• I Contain Multitudes (non-fiction book by Ed Yong)
• Black Mirror
• The Arrival
• Westworld (these last three are shoe-ins that I just haven’t been able to fit in yet)
