« on: July 28, 2005, 04:01:46 PM »
Cloud Atlas  by David Mitchell.

if anyone has Yahoo and would like to  conference  and  chat about this book.. please  PM  me..  The  tentative dates  are: 
Sept. 4  saturday --4pm  and 
Sept 10  saturday  11 pm

(these are UK times  which means  minus 8 hours if you are on the WEST coast )

  It is a  long book  and I am thinkking a few of you  may be on  holiday.. so you might be distracted..

questions, comments, suggestions.. LMK>>   :D ;D  look forward to  chatting with you.. 

(I can't get into UKY chat..in case you are wondering..)

I finished it a while ago but would love to dip into it again and hear what others have to say about it! As far as I know both those times are ok for me.
I know I'm late - where's the booze?

GREAT!!  when the time gets closer.. pass on your Yahoo screen name.. also  tell a  Friend.. i am choosing two times  for  people in the states who want to join.. Already have  one  from there joining us.. .    Twisted.. you can come to both.. different people..different views.. also you may learn or  want to share something new.. How fun!!  I had better start reading.. :P

Sounds fun! I just started reading it. Should (!?) be done by then.

I loved it. Grrrrrrreat book! But I feel like it's been so long now that I've forgotten a lot of it!

Okay I've just finished the first part....anyone else have a dictionary next to them to look up words - or am I just a daft cow?

Plus I have never come across a book that stops a chapter in mid sentence....very strange indeed!

Well I did flip ahead and saw where it picked up again...so I am going to continue..but not from where it picks up...don't worry, I'm reading it properly...

I thought a page was ripped out of my book at first...how odd...LOL
