I love that, it is a chew toy. Problem is that I has been keeping me quiet ever since I got it, very little blogging, commenting, or anything other than tweaking it and adding things.

The obits can be interesting. Don’t laugh, but I read a hilarious book about Obits, called The Dead Beat. (by Marilyn Johnson)

You hit the nail on the head with “alternative realities”. I just had a really hard time letting go with this one and every time I thought that I was over it, another change in history would come up and I would have to re-adjust myself all over again.

P&P&Z was fun for me because it wasn’t messing with history like this one did. I can suspend disbelief only so far it seems.

Wow – now that sounds really weird. Some of these ‘alternate realities’ are just too weird to be played out. I never really got the point of P&P&Z and this one feels like it’s even more strange.

Whether my book club picks it or not, I am going to read it.

Hey Gwen…my sister got a kindle for Christmas, too. I like it. Keeps her quiet, kind of like her own chew toy. LOL
All the best to you in 2012.

What’s the first book that you’re reading in 2012? I’m reading the New York Times Annual of Obits for 2011. Hey – don’t know it until you tried it!

I’m totally into the smell. Been sniffing mine all the time.

This is a lovely review! I’m glad reading this book turned into such a good experience for you. I love when that happens.

Good answer Heidi. My nonfiction reads this year were mostly centered on the past, no current issues. I need to read more current topics, like social issues. There is where I think that I will gain both compassion and hope.
