The Time Traveler's Wife / Audrey Niffenegger

Anyone read this???? It took me a couple of days to get round the author's surname and into the first few chapters. Now still part-way through but it's fascinating!!! A love story  (not yuk style!!!) where Henry time travels.... arriving nude..... meeting his wife (present) as a child (past) back to the present.... etc etc etc.   eeek:   

Question....where would you go if you could time travel?  Rememer you can't change history EVEN if you wanted to!!!! rubschin:

Time Traveller's Wife.

I couldn't get on with it, found it irksome but Mrs Snoopy loved it ~ I think it must be a girl thing..

What time would I return to? ~ anywhere between 1963 and 1966 ~ ie leaving school and getting married.
I do not require comments on getting married young ~ I have learned that lesson only too well thank you.

Fabulous book loved it! There aren't many books that make me cry but that one did!

I'd go back to the Summer before my Dad died and actually speak to him mend fences and what have you.

Other than that, 1993/94/95 damn fine years any would do.

Hi Bar Wench. . .  thanks for the recommendation.  Time's a bit short at the moment, so haven't got much further with the book, but will remember to have the tissue box to hand! cry:
