I often feel sorry for people who don't read good books;
they are missing a chance to lead an extra life.
~ Scott Corbett ~

This is a group for people who love to read - who may or may not find it easy to find time to read. We'll choose a book to read each month - but any book chat is welcome - especially recommendations of books enjoyed. We just ask that you please put the word "SPOILER" along with the name of the book in the subject line of your post if what you say might spoil the ending for those who haven't read it.

Our current book of the month is "The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger. We will be reading this during June and chatting about it with each other.

The blurb from the Dymocks.com site is as follows....
This extraordinary, magical novel is the story of Clare and Henry who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-two and Henry thirty. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself pulled suddenly into his past or future. His disappearances are spontaneous and his experiences are alternately harrowing and amusing. The Time Traveler's Wife depicts the effects of time travel on Henry and Clare's passionate love for each other with grace and humour. Their struggle to lead normal lives in the face of a force they can neither prevent nor control is intensely moving and entirely unforgettable.
