I m a sucker for a time-travel story. It might have something to do with growing up in the UK in the 1970s, where my generation was weaned on Doctor Who, but time travel in all its varieties works for me. Of course, there are lots of quibbles with time travel stories: can you really kill your own grandfather and cease to exist? If you step on a butterfly in prehistoric times will the future change (thank you, Mr. Bradbury)? And most perplexing, travel trailer rental why do time travellers always seem to run into the important figures in history, rather than nobodies like you and I?
I LOVED the Time Traveller s Wife (apart from that bit with all the paper-making. Not that I m against paper-making but it did seem a bit out of place!). Have you noticed a similarity with River and The Doctor?
Also, for more living-backwards-through-time, check out The Once and Future King by T.H. White (I HIGHLY recommend the audio book read by Neville Jason, who, incidentally, travel trailer rental was in one of the Tom Baker Doctor Whos in the 70s!!)
