Book recommendations - help me spend my Amazon vouchers

[TrillianAstra]

I have £17.23 of Amazon vouchers, what books shall I get?

I commute nowadays so read quite a lot, mainly on Kindle.

What have you read recently and why would you recommend it?

I read Black Swan Green and thought it was ok but not attempted Cloud Atlas yet. Have just been reading some very mixed reviews of Thousand Autumns on Amazon. I am only 3 or 4 chapters in but would describe it as "meandering" and I am struggling to keep my concentration!

I really liked Cloud Atlas, liked the different stories and different writing styles. It took a while to get into it though.
