Arroyo Book Club Pick for January…

Book Jacket for: Cloud atlas : a novelWe 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).
