Morgan asked this question about Ghostwritten:

How should Mitchell's books be read? In publishing order?

At times challenging (especially the middle section -- post apocalyptic fiction told in a dialect). But overall amazing. And when you realize how neatly the plot-lines all fit together... magic.

As an FYI, I read "Cloud Atlas" twice in three years. Liked it that much. And didn't care for the movie which was way different than the book.(less)
