Arroyo Book Club Pick for January…
We will be reading Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell for our
January book club meeting. Since I have
not yet read this book let me quote from the copy on the back…
A postmodern visionary who is also a master of styles and
genres, David Mitchell combines flat-out adventure, a Nabokovian love of
puzzles, a keen eye for character, and a taste for mind-bending philosophical
and scientific speculation in the tradition of Umberto Eco and Philip K.
Dick. The result is brilliantly original
fiction that reveals how disparate people connect, how their fates intertwine,
and how their souls drift across time like clouds across the sky.
Definitely sounds interesting. Join us on 1/25/14 at 3:00 to share what you
thought of the book. We will also be
able to see the movie that was made from this book. We will be showing it on 1/18/14 starting at 2:00 (it’s a long
movie).
