Destination Anywhere – Paris R2 #17

Snow day. Actually, rain day, seeing as how it’s been pouring all day long. Spent the day reading – finished A Scientific Romance – a fun little caper from Ronald Wright. It’s the quixotic tale of a love stricken archeologist who wants to defy wisdom, science and fiction by trying to change the past…or at least see the future. The novel is a first person account of the tragedy fun, the story being told as we go, the time travel trip told while rambling about alternating with that fabulous past he so badly wants to save and or avoid. At times it was maudlin, there weren’t any Morlocks, but it still gets you and works as a compelling scientific tale of star-crossed lovers. As for The Sparrow, I’m halfway through it and it seems like a great read, although a bit heavy on the religious nonsense. I’m hoping to finish it today.
