Cloud Atlas

Giovanna, I don't see Cloud Atlas on the original list. I might have overlooked it though. Which number is it?

I was looking on the original BBC list. It's #77

Ours is a different list from the BBC one. I'm not sure where Nicole found it as that link no longer works. Thankfully, she posted the original list in a thread ... here's the link to it:

We could always do Cloud Atlas as a buddy read, if others are interested.

91.The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith

Thanks, Rosina! I've heard lots good about this one. Although I do hope we get more nominations. I love the polls. :-)

56.A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle

I love that book! I keep thinking I'll read the others in the series, but haven't gotten to them yet.

I love this series, and have read the #1 book three times, so I won't be repeating it. But I WILL read another of McCall Smith's books and will join in on the discussion.
