Being somewhat of a completist, I decided to read through rest of his novels in chronological order. I'm almost through rereading Cloud Atlas with two more to go before I start The Bone Clocks. I've greatly enjoyed all his work so far; I think he's one of the best writers of our time.

I am doing exactly the same thing, for exactly the same reason. I read
Cloud Atlas and loved it, so before I read
Bone Clocks, I am reading through his other published works. Just finished
Black Swan Green, and while coming-of-age stories aren't really my thing,
BSG was actually pretty good.
