Cloud Atlas
by David Mitchell
I am love love loving this book. Sometimes a novel with a gimmick works (Time's Arrow) and sometimes it doesn't (Hopscotch). Initially, the too-too clever structure (which it's better if I don't reveal) seemed gimmicky and pleased with itself. But each successive section is so amazingly beautiful that the narrative oddities not only enhance they story, but make it possible.

Hey! why didn't it register my bogus website for my comment as John Barleycorn? I'll try a real URL this time.
