Funny. My favourite is Thousand Autumns.

[@Scede]

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.

@@TeslaShambles I love the midwife, and I love that superb sentence (I'm sure you know which one I mean).

The first cassette I ever bought, in the late 1970’s, was called Ripsnorter which was a collection of the hits of the day in Australia.

That's exactly where my mind went to when the expression was used!
