really liked it
bookshelves: recent

For whatever reason, when I stared reading The Time Taveler’s Wife, I was in possession of two copies. I opted to leave a copy at work and the other at home and I read at least a few pages everyday. This meant that each time I picked up the book I was slightly lost, and wondering were I was, while I searched to find my place within the pages. One copy was older and more worn than the other, with writing in the margins and creased corners. The other book was brand new and living in the present.

Even with the time lost searching for my place, this book turned into a quick read. The premise behind it was a great idea and, while the author demanded a lot of faith from the reader, it was fun to get into the story. Even with all the questions surrounding the strange affliction attributed to the main character, I cared for the characters and worried about their destiny.

Jenna What a great technique for reading this particular book!


Figgy Did you ever find yourself tempted to do the marking up of the new book, because it's clearly the past version of it?

Or maybe you're not the one who marks it up... Maybe that's the next owner...


Andrew Smith It's a confusing enough timeline with output the added complication, Jonathan. Great book though :)


Cecily I guess it's the perfect book to read in such a disjointed and disconcerting way. Fun.


Erika That's like one of those art pieces where the form of the thing is also the thing itself.


Cecily Indeed. (Don't tell Jonathan, but I did wonder if he made that whole bit up for exactly that reason.)


Erika How meta! I won't say a word. :)


Jonathan Ashleigh I wish I could make something like that up.


Cecily Then just pretend you did!
