1. I loved that book.

Loved it.

The trick, as my friend pointed out, is to follow the story from the woman's perspective. The guy is too all over the place...once I did that I think I read it straight through. I love it.

[RetroLounge]

2. Yes, that is how I am reading it...

His parts just illuminate hers.

and the fact that it takes place in Chicago in all my old haunts helps out a bit :D

How ya doing?

:hi:

3. i CRIED when i finished that book

...and I couldn't really explain to progdad why it made me so sad. :)

I'm doing ok. Holidays with an almost-four-year-old are a trip. :D

[RetroLounge]

5. Oh no. That means I will probably cry too...

sadness...

7. hello

:loveya:

I'm going to check out the book on your and RL's recommendation. I love a good read and I don't mind crying, either. (I just watched Big Fish with my Dad on his birthday, so I ain't afraid to cry!)

I just got a book called The Eyre Affair, by Jasper Fforde, as an early Christmas present. It looks interesting. Have you heard of it?

See ya. :hi:

4. I finished it about a month ago

And I'm still haunted by it. I also read it from the wife's perspective although at the end... when his worst fears are realized... I couldn't get that visual out of my head.

aaaaaggh. Now I'm going to be useless again at work while I moon about the book for the rest of the day.

6. I'm going to look for the book.

If both you and progmom like it, that's a solid recommendation. Have you read The Eyre Affair? I just got it for Christmas (from a work colleague, so I got to open it early) and it sounds good. :hi:

8. OMG, I LOVED that book!!

excellent read. Very unique spin on the time travel thang. Clever. I read it in about 2 days.
Enjoy and Happy Solstice to you, RetroLounge!
May the warmth of a happy heart (and good reading) be yours this season...
Blessings,
Shine
