Just finished The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger (not surprising because I haven't been able to put it down for the past few days). It was one of those books that just completely engrosses you -- where the real world seems so pale in comparison and you just can't wait to get back into it. It may not be for everyone, but I thought it was amazing -- dosn't hurt that the main character is a time traveling librarian of course. But its not really science fiction, but more of a love story. Mom - I think you'll love it. BobbiLynn, I have to admit I cried so maybe its not for you. Carrie, if you read it, stock up on a whole lot of chocolate first. But I hope that some of you read it so we can talk about it... hopefully some of the book group gang will have by our next meeting.
Really fantastic. Sigh. Sniff.
(and yes, I did finish a draft of the paper and sent it off to my group, so I haven't been completely slacking)
I've seen that in Politics & Prose and almost bought it several times so now for sure it's on my list!
