Mitchell's US cover ...Sister, you're right. Mitchell's US cover is reminiscent of Casey's cover. Maybe we'll better understand the design/color after we read the book, but it looks a little too tightly wound and monochromatic to be much fun. I wondered if we US readers are supposed to be subliminally reminded that Mitchell wrote Cloud Atlas. Shades of gray and white swirls for that overcast skies look.<br /><br />Doesn't The Mathematician's Shiva sound entertaining? The mental picture of the family trying remain sedate and respectful while a bunch of socially awkward and obsessed mathematicians are tearing the house apart around them made me laugh. I'm sure author Stuart Rojstaczer has been around plenty of mathematicians to skewer them mercilessly.

It looks a little like My Life In Middlemarch, too. What's up with the circular cutouts? And in monochrome? I agree, the UK cover is much more fun.<br /><br />But The Way Inn cover is great and I like The Mathematician's Shiva cover too.<br /><br />I'm wondering if I'll do The Bone Clocks on audio. It's a multiple-reader one, which I tend to like. I know for sure I'll be getting The Mathematician's Shiva ASAP.Sister Mary Murderoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13721665989818474295noreply@blogger.com
