I haven't read any of David Mitchell's books and I think we've talked about it time and again how I really need to get a move on reading this book, lol ;) Hopefully by the end of this year perhaps? :)<br /><br />- Lianne @ caffeinatedlife.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833552366782548505.post-68913222675945365102014-05-18T11:17:42.556+03:002014-05-18T11:17:42.556+03:00Cloud Atlas is definitely a book that many people ...Cloud Atlas is definitely a book that many people don't get along with because of it's structure. My next Mitchell will be Number9dream, but I recently read a very positive review on Black Swan Green in one of the blogs I follow, and it made me think that it will definitely be a good Mitchell to try. But I haven't read it (yet!) :) Rivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04561804353287763337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833552366782548505.post-3995703136900006502014-05-18T11:15:05.720+03:002014-05-18T11:15:05.720+03:00I'm already savouring the thought of re-readin...I'm already savouring the thought of re-reading Cloud Atlas some day. Since I haven't seen almost anyone read this book though I am especially curious to see if other people feel like me or not - at least Jan did which gives hope it's not just me.

It really is hard to put into words what we like about our favorite books -- much harder than for books we didn't like so much!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215797870829907924noreply@blogger.com
