I have just finished this book...and its the best book I've ever read. I really like the characters and the emotions you feel with them.

I've started a new book and I really can't get into it, so I've started reading The Time Travellers Wife again....

I'd love to hear what you think if you've read it/are reading it,... your faveourite bits etc...

The film is coming out in Dec with Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams... The book is really touching i hope the film is just as good...

I just started "Time Traveler's Wife," and it's one that's been on my list for a LONG time. I happen to be a librarian, and have always been obsessed with time travel... so a book about a time traveling librarian was a must read! Unfortunately I don't get much pleasure reading time, so it might take me a while to get through. But I'm glad to hear another good review, and I'll let you know what I think.

P.S. I'm on page 60-ish right now, and so far enjoying it.

My daughter just recommended this book "Time Traveler's Wife" to me. She only recommends books that she has really enjoyed and we seem to always enjoy the same kind of reading. It is next on my list.

Shouldn't this thread be in Books?
Anyway, TTTW is one of my all-time favorites.
Henry de Tamble is so dashing and romantic and smart and hip.
If you like this book and think you might enjoy other, similar time travel books, message me for some suggestions.

Since "Somewhere in Time" was one of my all-time favorite movies, after reading a great review of "Time Traveler's Wife," I just had to buy it. I started reading it once and set it aside when life got busy. Seeing this thread reminded me about it. I think it's time to pick it up again from the beginning. Will let you know what I think.

The book thread is under Entertainment: Books

I have borrowed the book and plan to start reading it this week. I can't wait to get into it -- I've seen so many good reviews!

I would have preferred someone else.
Don't get me wrong, I love Eric Bana.
But for Henry, I was thinking more along the lines of Christian Bale, who does that tall skinny romantic schtick so well, and does a flawless American accent.
But I will reserve judgment until I see Bana's performance.
