Exceedingly Mundane

Tim had to work late again last night, so I stayed up late and finished my latest book from the library – “The Time Traveler’s Wife” by Audrey Niffenegger. This was a whopper of a book, both in size (518 pages) and storyline. It’s the story of Henry, who has Chrono-Displacement disorder (he travels through time, without any control over it, of where he goes, when he goes, what happens to him, etc), and his wife Claire, whom he first meets when she is six years old. It flips around in time and place, back and forth throughout their lives. A very interesting concept, and a very different kind of book to read. I really liked it (didn’t LOVE it, but I really liked it). I had read several really good things about this book, on other people’s blogs and also at several message boards. It is a “Today Show Book Club Pick” from a couple of years ago, and also seems to be a popular pick for book clubs all over the country. I can certainly see why, it brings up a lot of interesting topics that could be discussed. 🙂

For the record, this makes book #21 for the year, with a total of 7,836 pages read. I have 2 more books from the library and now have to figure out which to read next! So many books, so little time
