I haven't read either The House with Green Shutters (is that also Gunn?) or Alistair Gray's Lanark. But now I will. I'm presently re-reading War and Peace for the third or fourth time in thirty or forty years and when I emerge...if I emerge....

Thanks for the recommendations, Tyler

Have you read David Mitchell's Black Swan Green? Quite different from Cloud Atlas but I liked it better. Though we share only 13 books so far (I've only begun cataloging mine), the ones we share are among my all time favorites: Corelli's Mandolin, The Moonstone, Blindness, Kafka on the Shore, and The Silver Darlings. Have you read Lewis Grassic Gibbon's A Scot's Quair: Sunset Song, Cloud Howe, Grey Granite. I read this Scottish trilogy years ago and adored it.

Cheers to good reads,
Tyler (aka flashflood42)
