Whatcha Reading? (August edition)

I just finished The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, and really enjoyed it. A time travel romance/drama; very powerful and thought-provoking. Wiki says there’ll be a movie of it in the next year or so.

Next up: re-reading a favorite from my high school years, Arthur Rex by Thomas Berger (probably best known as the author of Little Big Man). It’s an affectionate and clever retelling, somewhat but not too much tongue-in-cheek, of Arthurian legend. Plenty of swords, sorcery, romance and valiant quests, but also jokes and veiled anachronisms that always make me smile.
