Reading takes you everywhere...Time Travel

The Library's annual summer reading program is underway. Have you mapped out your reading strategy? If not I have a couple of great selections for our Sci-fi/Fantasy readers. Check out one of these Out of This World novels.

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffengger
Passionately in love, Clare and Henry vow to hold onto each other and their marriage as the struggle with the effects of Chrono-Displacement Disorder, an illness that casts Henry hesitantly into the world of time travel.

Replay by Ken Grimwood
Jeff Winston is feeling trapped in a bad marriage when he suddenly dies of a heart attack. He awakens at Emory University and he's 18 years old again. Miraculously he remembers what happened during his life and what the future holds. He has no idea how this happened to him or what to do with the lifetime of knowledge he has acquired. 

 Kindred by Olivia Butler
Dana, an African-American woman, finds herself recurrently transported to the antebellum South, where she must make sure that Rufus, the plantation owner's son, survives to father Dana's ancestor. 

11/22/63 by Stephen King
Receiving a horrifying essay from a GED student with a painful past, high-school English teacher Jake Epping is enlisted by a friend to travel back in time to prevent the assassination of John F. Kennedy, a mission for which he must befriend the troubled Lee Harvey Oswald. 

Timeline by Michael Crichton
In an Arizona desert a man wanders in a daze, speaking words that make no sense. Within a day he's dead, his body quickly cremated.  Halfway around the world archaeologists make an astounding discovery at a medieval sight.  Suddenly they are swept off to the headquarters of a secretive multinational corporation that has developed amazing technology. Now this group is about to get a chance not to study the past but enter it.
