I’m busy reading. I love to read and my addiction to reading and books has been well documented. I’m currently in the throws of “The Time Traveler’s Wife” a love story recommended to me by my sister-in-law. I’ve read 400 pages in two days. That is how I operate, and with the kids at camp there is no reason for me to do anything else. Oh, I suppose I could do the dishes, laundry, sort the kid’s toys, etc but why do the chores that I could do every day, when there is such a book to read? I haven’t finished the book, but I can already tell you that I love this book. It is complex. I am in awe of Audrey Niffenegger and her ability to plan and organize such a big, long story. It is rather sexually explicit at times (for those of you who prefer more G-rated fare) but the depth of these characters are rich. It has made me want to simultaneously cling to David and celebrate in my fortune of finding my own soul mate in life. You cannot tell the story of two lives intertwined, like Niffenegger has, without touching on the anguish, ecstasy, pain and unconditional love that comes with such a relationship.
I’m saying all this to let you know that I’m too busy reading to write a post.
I just saw the previews for the movie coming out with Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana, two of my fav actors and it looks amazing. If the book is like most movies, I’m sure it’s even better. I look forward to hearing what you think!
Enjoy it. I read it when my husband was away for two weeks, and the story was more poignant because of it.
