[PW] Re: Time Travel Romance

[Hadden, Robert L ERDC-TEC-VA]

Dear Wombats:
	A rather odd sort of story, often called "Chick-lit Sci-Fi," is The
Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. It tells of a man (a librarian no
less!) who has a rare genetic disease that makes him involuntarily go
forwards or backwards in time, then after a while, return. During many of his
travels past and future, he meets a girl, then meets her as a young woman,
and falls in love with her as she grows up and they finally marry.
	The concept ideas and plot are more interesting than the story and
writing is. But great reading for an evening in front of the fireplace, with
either a small dog or cat on your lap. And hot chocolate.

There's an extensive list of time-travel romances on the Lincoln City
Libraries' website under "Book Guide", "Somewhere In Time." See this
 at http://www.lcl.lib.ne.us/depts/bookguide/lists/somewhereintime.htm

 Book Guide is a very extensive collection of themed material which would
repay your investigation!! (Credit to the compiler, Scott Clark of our
Reference Department.)
