Has anyone read this book?
I'm reading it for bookclub, and I love it. It's mind-boggling, but fascinating. I don't quite get how the whole time travel thing works, but I'm really enjoying the story. I'm about half-way through.
Anyone?

It's my roommate's favorite book. I'm going to read it over Thanksgiving. Glad you're enjoying it!!

Amazing book. Took awhile to get used to the narrative structure, but overall - a great read.

Also check out "The Bridge Across Forever"

Who's it by and why haven't I heard of it? College is cutting far too deeply into my book reading time.

Oh, I read that last Thanksgiving break and LOVED it. Beautiful work.

Bridge... is by Richard Bach (he also wrote Jonathan Livingston Seagull)

It was a quick read, I couldn't put it down and stayed up so late at night reading the book.

"The Time Traveler's Wife" is by Audrey N-something. I forget. When I figure it out, I'll post it.

I loved this book, its one of those novels that when I finished, I lamented as to why all novels couldn't be that enjoyable, I hate wading through the crap...le sigh...

And its by Audrey Niffenegger

I adored the book too. I found it fascinating, occasionally disturbing and ultimately deeply moving. There's a film in the works with Gus Van Sant directing.

A little overwritten and a little dull in parts, but very interesting overall. The movie should be fascinating.

I enjoyed this book, but something about it really disturbed me. I haven't been able to put it into words.

*Possible Spoiler*

I was very bothered by the idea of Clare spending her entire life essentially waiting for Henry. The ending with her being old and just waiting for the day he'll come to see her was very disturbing.

Still, as a librarian, I'm always happy to see stories about my profession

That didn't disturb me, that was in the parts I found fascinating and moving. The disturbing elements were elsewhere.

Oh there are other things that disturbed me, but it was a big part. Something about that book gets to me and unfortunatly none of my friends have read it so I haven't been able to talk it out.

I do think it will make a good movie if done right.

Given the recent output from Van Sant, I'd rather he wasn't allowed within 100 miles of the film.
