Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
I didn't actually buy this book - instead I got it for my birthday! I've been wanting to read this for months and I'm #19 on the library list and they only have two books. I had a customer come in requesting this book and initially I thought (from the title) that it was a nature book. When I saw it was fiction, I found the book for him and then proceeded to read the blurb myself. I was immediately intrigued. Only later did I hear it was being made into a movie. But that doesn't matter to me since books are 99% of the time better than their movie counterparts. This book is one of those begin in the past and work its way toward the far-future kind with all sorts of little connecting threads that just sounded oh-so-interesting. I very much look forward to reading this and falling into whatever world(s) Mitchell crafts and discovering all the little details that bring his characters together across time.
