His stories were about failure, hope and ultimately redemption. I love that philosophy.<BR/><BR/>P.S. It's me - Josie. I had to delete my other blog. You can reconnect to me through this comment.

I just finished <EM>The Time Traveler's Wife.</EM> I was absolutely riveted and engrossed. What a wonderful love story... immeasurably creative book. I'd read it again and again.<BR/><BR/>Others I've read recently and rated very highly:<BR/><BR/><EM>The Road<BR/><BR/>White Oleander</EM><BR/><BR/>All about relationships of one sort or another. A special thanks to DW, who has been my source of book recommendations. 3-for-3 and I can't wait to ask her for her next recommendation.<BR/><BR/><STRONG><A HREF="http://www.thepsychoexwife.com/2007/12/about-psycho-ex-wife.html" REL="nofollow">~Mister-M</A></STRONG>Mister-Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903888806444652336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355133708140025511.post-15148202257162313412008-08-08T00:00:00.000-04:002008-08-08T00:00:00.000-04:00It is great when a book grabs you.

She seemed so gentle, accepting, open-minded, and that really appealed to me. <BR/><BR/>I think that it's the perfect book to be listening to during rush-hour traffic!Jodi Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05841000126109119742noreply@blogger.com
