Buffybot ,'Dirty Girls'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
So many people have recommended The Time Traveler's Wife (and L'Engle's A Wrinkle In Time), that I've been meaning to get it (both of them) for a while.
I did skim Nilly's white font, because I'm blessed with a poor memory for detail, and I know everything but "Nilly wrote beautifully about this story," will have left my head by the time I get and read the book.
I'm enthralled by the idea of time travel, anyhow, but this one sounds poignant.
I've bookmarked Nilly's post. I'm debating whether to read it now, or to read TTTW first, and then read Nilly's post.
RIP Mickey Spillane.
A few too many kisses deadly, I assume.
I didn't read The Time Traveler's Wife (or all of Nilly's post), but my wife loved parts and hated other parts.

It is. It will kill you dead. Several times.
but my wife loved parts and hated other parts
That was me. I loved the idea of it and the writing, for the most part, but I HATED the supposed protagonists. That really made it hard for me to enjoy the book.
Am I Corwood's wife? Huh, I never knew.
That was another book that came with "discussion questions" bound in at the end. WHATever.

You could save time by just reading A Wrinkle in the Time-Traveler's Wife.

t Natter Corwood, I saw your video of your son dancing to The Bird the other day, when I was very stressed out, and for the moments I was watching it, I felt all better. TOO MUCH CUTE!!!
He's selflessly trying to cheer up the world through dancing and reading Hand Hand Fingers Thumb, Cindy. Glad you enjoyed it!

My goal is a Buffista wife in every town by 2008. Then we can start our messianic doomesday cult!
Out at lunch today, I sat at the counter next to a young woman who was holding (but not yet reading) the Haruki Murakami novel Kafka on the Shore. I said something like, hey, that's a great book. From her snooty reaction, you would've thought I'd asked her about her sign and if she was into roller disco. I wonder if she'd been previously beset by Japanese fiction-loving lechors.

I so did, and he's just such a beautiful, beautiful boy. I'm not sure he got so big though, because I can clearly remember your announcement of his birth, like 8 days ago.
