Anyone else reading / read this? What do you think so far? I'm on page 130-ish. I love it but just haven't got time to sit and read in big chunks so finding it hard to follow in places and I've only just got really into it. I'm sure if I had a 4 hour train journey to go on I'd get really into it and wouldn't be able to stop reading.

I'm about as far in as you, BBL - it's very dense but fascinating - I'm also desperate to have a really good chunk of reading time to immerse myself in it - I love David Mitchell

ooh, got a bit further on and it's changed direction somewhat ... going to get very dark I suspect - somehow I don't think there's going to be a happy ending ...

I'm on page 208 now. Not very far, it's getting more intriguing!
