I put The Ministry of Time on hold when you mentioned it last time! And now Brooklyn. I'm reading The Magician's Assistant by Ann Patchett, after loving Tom Lake. She's a writer I grew into. I tried Bel Canto years ago and thought, wow, this is so not for me. She's melancholy without being depressing (IMO).
I just finished The Magician's Assistant a few weeks ago. I don't want to say too much and spoil anything for you, but I really enjoyed it for the most part.
I've had the Ministry of Time on my list since the Washington Post reviewed it a few weeks ago. It looks right up my alley and since you and I seem to have very similar reading tastes, I'm looking forward to it even more.
