I got that one to read (still in the queue) after seeing the author interviewed on the The Daily Show. Also have both David Mitchell books - Cloud Atlas and Jacob de Zoet - and am anxious to get started on them.

I was getting bogged down by reading two non-fiction books at the same time: de Tocqueville's On Democracy in America (in french) and Alistair Horne's La Belle France, a short history. Decided to get into a good novel and started Still Alice. Marvelous book - about a woman diagnosed with early onset Alzheimers. A couple reviews said they couldn't put the book down, and I'm finding that to be the case. Well written and really fascinating story.
