Best writer today. My order of preference: 1. Black swan green 2. The bone clocks 3. Cloud atlas 4. Number 9 dream 5. Utopia avenue 6. Slade house 7. Ghostwritten 8. Thousand autumns..... But none of them below a 7/10
it's: 1. Cloud Atlas 2. Ghostwritten 3. Black Swan Green 4. Utopia Avenue 5. Thousand Autumns 6. Number9Dream 7. The Bone Clocks 8. Slade House for me.
For me, the top three are Black Swan Green, Ghostwritten, and The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet (in some order). Slade House and Cloud Atlas are next, probably (as of now). I plan to re-read Ghostwritten this weekend, since some of the stories from the book keep replaying in my head all these years later.
