Hey y’all, been a long time since you’ve heard from me huh? Well, not really. I’m new here to Lemuria, sort of. New here as a bookseller, but I’ve been a customer for quite some time. I love this shop and all the people that make it what it is. At some point I may write something more of an introduction to myself, but today I’m too excited about a book that was recommended to me a year ago by Simon, so this is going to be more of a testament to the sellers here and their powers of perception. Also, I would like to note that this book has been blogged about a few times already and I will leave links to those at the bottom of this page for further reading.
What has got me so excited about this book is that it is being made into a film directed by the Wachowski brothers (The Matrix) and the trailer looks amazing. It is scheduled to be released 26 October 2012. Watch it below…

One final note I would like to add that isn’t mentioned in the blogs below is its theme of time and history in relation to Tom Stoppard’s play Arcadia. I wont say much other than i think the two make great analogs. Stoppard’s play and Mitchell’s novel are quite different in tone and method but both move through heavy philosophy with an ease that leaves the reader in awe. With that said, they are both a blast to read.
Come by and snag Cloud Atlas before the movie release, and enjoy!
