I have Mitchells' number9dream on the TBR. It's an earlier book, but I'll be interested to see how it compares with Cloud Atlas.

... maybe after LotR, and Les Miserables, and Moby Dick, and... *sigh* so many books, so little time... I want to read Number9Dream too. I've decided David Mitchell is one of those authors I mustn't miss any books by. (see what you can make of that specimen of grammar!) Thanks for the ...

... in the Japanese music store is inspired by Murakami. Mitchell obviously rates Murakami very highly as one of his novels, Number9Dream is entirely a homage to him.

I thought about mentioning the Ishiguro, but I found it dissatisfying - despite some lovely writing. Is number9dream sf? I know Cloud Atlas is.

... recently read and enjoyed: Air by Geoff Ryman Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro Maul by Tricia Sullivan Number9Dream Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell Idlewild by Nick Sagan (Edited with thanks to iansales. Note: only 1/3 of Cloud Atlas is futuristic.)

... writer and there's so much of him to read. Hardboiled Wonderland is probably my favourite. You might also like to try number9dream by David Mitchell, whchi is a homage/pastiche of Murakami and a very, very good book in its own right.

Only a wee haul, but yesterday I popped into a couple of local charity shops on my way to the supermarket and picked up number9dream, David Mitchell, The Woman and the Ape, Peter Høeg and Live and Let Die, Ian Fleming - all for about a quid each.

I came home to the lovely sight of a stack of books on my doorstep: You Gotta Be The Book Number9Dream Through Black Spruce Day The New York Stories of Henry James It is official. I have to stop because I have no more room on my shelves and I have begun a stack under my desk. P ...

Welcome to the challenge. You've already read an interesting mix of books and I notice that you've become a fan of David Mitchell. I have his Black Swan Green on my tbr pile but not part of my 999 challenge.

I just finished The Road Home by Rose Tremain and number9dream by David Mitchell. I have just started February by Lisa Moore and The Idea of Perfection by Kate Grenville.

#48: I have Mitchell's Cloud Atlas home from the library now to read. I will have to look for number9dream after I finish it. #49: I already have that one on my bedside table to read some time in the next century or 2.

... Atlas was one of my favorites several years ago. If you haven't read that one I highly recommend it. I haven't read number9dream but have it on my TBR list.

I was in Tokyo with number9dream by David Mitchell.

I finished My Life in France by Julia Child and number9dream by David Mitchell. I think that David Mitchell is one of my favourite authors. Julia Child's book was really charming and gave the reader a sense of Paris ( and the state of food history) in the 1950's. Both very satisfying ...

... Black Swan Green, which I really did have on my TBR list... not as good as Cloud Atlas (read maybe 2 yrs ago, or Number9dream - read even longer ago).

#127 Number9Dream - David Mitchell Number 9 Dream is a captivating and intelligent novel, well written - as one would expect from David Mitchell, and with some deep themes. The book is about a Japanese young man who is in search of the father who abandoned his family when he and his twin ...

That said, I finally finished Number9Dream today and am looking forward to reading another Mitchell book soon. Just not right now.

... had this much fun reading a book in ages. Really, really good. I need to finish both Interview with the Vampire and Number9Dream before I move on to anything else, including going back to House of Leaves. So many books, so little time these days.

Re David Mitchell, he has another book, Number9Dream, which is also quite different from the others. What I quite like with his work is that there's a lot of subtle overlaps of the minor characters - various characters pop up in more than one book at different stages in their life. Hmmm. I' ...

Wow, Grammath, we have a lot of books in common - including some I own and haven't read. I really ought to read Number9dream by David Mitchell I have had it several years and not read it yet

number9dream by David Mitchell. I started reading it 2 months ago, and stopped for no reason at all. then i picked up black swan green and finished and loved it, so i'm giving number9green another go.

... Atlas, although the conceit and structure is essentially the same. I don't quite know why I've never been attracted to number9dream; perhaps because of Norweigan Wood where a similar Beatles reference is used by an author, Murakami, who I don't like (not logical argument at all, I know).

I didn't get very far into Number9dream either, but yes, DO read Ghostwritten. It's one of my very favorite books.

... stories formed a perfect whole due to recurring themes used throughout the novel. Prior to that I had looked at Page 1 of Number9dream and given up straight away. I haven't read Ghostwritten. Should I? Should I give Number9dream another go?
