Cloud Atlas Preliminary thoughts

[Kenneth]

This thread is for chatter about our upcoming book. No major spoilers here, please, but feel free to talk about themes, impressions, potential digital tie-ins, or whatever you like. I'm learning that I have a lot of potential resources, and a bit of a fearless nature when it comes to finding people to talk to.

I'm really enjoying it. I'm in the second half of the book so moving down the mountain. I hope I have time to read more ABOUT the book after I finish the actual book. I also want to see the movie. How many people have seen it?

Loved the book (read it twice) and the movie --adapters made really interesting choices. Agree first section can be particularly can be hard to get into but well worth hanging in there and talking about. Looking forward to seeing you all.

Amen to comments that first half is difficult to read (difficult to understand what's happening and why we should care), but when connections start to be made interest picks up at a gallop, and now I hate to be almost at the end. Luisa & Cavendish chaps. are my favorites, and I'm bummed that it's ending with the dreary Adam Ewing. Discussion tomorrow pm should be hot & heavy!
