I was scared off of David Mitchell for a long time because of reviews calling him so conceptual, brilliant, groundbreaking, etc. I figured I wouldn’t be smart enough to appreciate the work of this literary genius. Maybe they should lay off that stuff and just say, “The man writes a mighty nice book.” 
I still have The Bone Clocks to look forward to.
You should try Cloud Atlas, if you haven’t already. Absolute dynamite all the way through.
I did, and liked it very much.
Tomorrow I plan to start on a non-fiction book, Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed.
Agreed, and I liked the movie, too.
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, by Yuval Noah Harari. So far it’s fascinating – comparing the different varieties of humans that existed simultaneously for hundreds of thousands of years – Neanderthal, Homo Erectus, Denisovans, Sapiens, and more, and discussing why we’re the only ones left.
I finished Saving Fish from Drowning by Amy Tan today. My Gods that book was a turkey. Those of you getting updates from Goodreads will probably want to skip the next one 
I read that not too long ago. An anthropology overview at the gallop, and quite interesting, I thought.
April thread?

Thanks! I’ve been busy with work and con stuff and forgot!
