The Time Traveler’s Wife is a modern love story with impossible terms. A man that can time-travel time and a woman who waits.  Their intense relationship is gripping from the beginning and the bubble of their unusual lifestyle and the impracticality of their love is never trite, but rather stripped down to all that is honest and sweet. One of my favorite novels.

$9 at Amazon.

    I absolutely adore this book. Absolutely beautiful story. Can’t decide if I want to risk watching the movie or not.

    @ Tiffany – Don’t! The movie is bad. Stick with the book, and trust me on this one : )

    Haha, thanks. Will do. That and My Sister’s Keeper. I loved that book, and even just the trailer totally ruins the effect of the whole experience. So now, every time a movie comes out, I am firm in my resolve to just read the book instead. Like, I think I’m going to get Up in the Air, even though it wasn’t on my radar until the movie, because I heard an NPR interview with the author and he was like, the movie is a totally different, other thing. So now I just want to read the book and leave it at that.

    Funny how that works. Although I must say, children’s fantasy literature is the exception. I love both sides of Harry Potter, LOTR, Lemony Snicket :)
