meisa's lagoon

it's been a long time since i've been sucked in by a book. i've had some here and there that i've enjoyed, but not one that i could barely put down, wanting to read it so badly, yet wanting to go slow so it would last longer. i finally stumbled upon this sort of new friend last week. i managed to go slow enough that the 530 pages only took 2 days, but, my friends, it could have just as easily been 2 hours.
everyone, and i mean everyone, reading this entry should stop whatever book they are reading and go buy the time traveler's wife by audrey niffenegger. here is the link to buy it now.
i'm not really into science fiction, but i wouldn't really classify this book as such, although it is about a time traveller. i'd say it is more a really unique interesting love story (this does not equal girly). soooooooo good. chicagolanders especially have no excuse not to purchase this book, as it takes place here, and the author makes such mention of lighthouse beach in evanston, lincoln square, lake shore drive, and tons of other places around here. it makes it all the more real and interesting.

shokufeh and mojan especially, please take this advice to heart. i think you would really enjoy it. i know because, shok you are my cousin, and mojan, checking out your latest books read, i think we like similar books.
