If you loved Cloud Atlas...

...would you recommend any of David Mitchell's other books?

Finished Cloud Atlas last night and very unusually I feel like going back to the beginning and reading it all over again. I won't yet as I have a kindle full of stuff to be read.

I am vaguely aware of fairly strong opinions about Mitchell, good and bad, on MN but wondered what you might recommend.

Black swan green is great.

I loved The Tousand Autmns too, and am currently reading Black Swan Green, which I think is fab too.

Have you read Cogito's analysis of Cloud Atlas? It's here somewhere, I'll see if I can find it.

(I think that Cloud Stlas can be read twice back to back, though. One of the very few.)

I enjoyed The Jacob de Zoet novel, but also really liked ghostwritten!

I also loved 'The Thousand Atums of Jacob de @ Blush and 'Ghost Written' - v v different from 'Cloud Atlas' which I will also have to reread, but brilliant. I like his books. There was bad stuff about them?? Gosh.
