#47 Station Eleven, by Emily St. John Mandel

I thoroughly enjoyed this tale of the world after a quick and disastrous outbreak of a mutated flu kills 99% of the world's population.  The ending was quick, and the whole tale has the atmosphere of a meditation on the fragility and beauty of civilization. Not your usual post-apocalyptic novel.  Highly recommended.
