'The Time Travelers Wife'

Best book I have read in ages Anyone else reading it?

I've just started it, really enjoying it!

It will make an interesting movie, if someone gets around to making it.  

Just what I was thinking! I am only a couple of chapters into it so don't tell me what happens!

Don't worry, I havn't gotten too far myself,, grabbed me in the first chaper tho, and I was afraid it would start off slow. I like how it switches from her perspective, to his.

Sounds interesting... whats it about? I havent heard of it before.

It's a love story,, but yet kinda a sci fi story too. Henry has some weird chromo genitic condition that makes him travel around into different times of his life. He's married to Clair, but actually met her the first time when she was 6 years old, and he was like 35 or something,, as he moves around in his lifetime, he meets up with her at different times and age of her life. She could be sitting there having dinner with him, and WHAM, he's disappeared, just his clothes are left,, and when he appears in another time, he could be any age at all, and with the memories of only up to that age. It's a little confusing, but it's all about how they deal with it. Very twisted writing angle, and so far, has alot fo poignant moments.

Will bring my copy to you when I come to Houston, once I finish it, will just sit and collect dust on my shelf,,lol.

Sounds great Teri! and thanks! I really enjoy reading "pre-loved" books Cant wait to read it

Tebs & Liz, I bought this book the other day based on your posts - so I'm holding you responsible for my liking it! 

Just kidding.  Once I've finished the book I borrowed from Wishstar sometime last year -  - I'll start this one.

Then maybe I'll finally get around to The DaVinci Code - must be the last person left who hasn't read it!

No I haven't read the Da Vinci Code yet either. Hubby's on it at the moment.

I read the Divinci Code in one sitting, it was that good.

I read this a few months ago when we had decided on it for the book club here.  I liked it a lot!!!!  I still have it if anyone wants me to send it to them!

Mart just got the Time Travelers Wife in Borders yesterday. I said "its a love story you know" he said "I CAN READ A LOVE STORY!!" - I love my husband! And Im looking forward to reading the book

I'm about 1/3 of the way through "The Time Traveller's Wife" right now and I agree - it's a well-written book. The imagery is spectacular. The voices of the characters are extremely vivid and I'm really enjoying the way the author mimics the sense of confusion and obscurity of the story in her prose. I wish I could get more time to read it!!

As for "The Da Vinci Code" . . . I thought it was a good book for all the info it contained. I know there's controversy over how much of what's in the book is actually true, but I'm too much of a heathen to really care that much. I did find the writing in and of itself to be rather . . . . boring, really. I found myself skipping whole paragraphs to get to more of the information because I just didn't care that much about the story or the characters. I tried giving Dan Brown another shot by reading "Angels and Demons" and found that one to be even more egregious.

I guess I won't be reading the Da Vinci Code anytime soon as hubby dropped it in the bath.
