Totally. I believe you too know it by heart. Apart from its other merits, it's an inexhaustible source of quotations.

You say true, I say thankya :)

And every time I have a migraine I remember that specific part of the book and just hope that mine will never ever have such devastating consequences.

I want everyone to read Cloud Atlas.
I absolutely loved this book. It got my vote.


I added The Master and Margarita to my "To Read" list based on all the love it's getting from friends upthread.

I am afraid it will lose most of its charm in translation...

And I must read Cloud Atlas too.

I read CLOUD ATLAS knowing nothing except that it was receiving good reviews. I had no idea of the storyline, structure, etc. It blew me away.

Added Cloud Atlas to my "future reading" list.

Jean, have you seen/read any English translations of The Master and Margarita? I would love to compare it to the original Russian text - the subtleties, the atmosphere, etc.

No, and I dread to see it! Though curiosity might prevail some day.
