I've only read Cloud Atlas and loved it. the way the stories connected and the structure was very interesting. this thread makes me want to check out all the other books everyone is mentioning!

I liked Cloud Atlas but got stuck for ages on the central story Sloosha’s Crossin’. It just seemed to lose momentum here and the future language was a bit too Jar Jar Binks for me and felt really clunky.

I understand! it took me a bit to get through that part too, specially since English isn't my first language, but I felt it was worth it in the end
