It is likely that I will not make it to this, but even if I do I don't want to wait a whole week to recommend what is possibly my favorite time travel novel. Try The Man who folded himself by David Gerrold. It is available on both BARD and Bookshare. Imagine every paradox and implication of time travel you have ever heard. This novel probably addresses all of them. Want to know what might happen if you traveled to yesterday's race track with the race results of today? That is the first implication that is addressed. Want to know what might happen if you traveled into the past and met a younger version of your self? Not only is that addressed, but the protagonist keeps doing it over and over for many years. He also habitually travels to the future to meet an older version of himself.

In some of our book discussions, some of you expressed how much you love time travel books. I am a huge fan too so thought I’d set up a special event for all of us to share our favorite time travel books. Come prepared to recommend one or two of your favorites or come just to listen to what others recommend. I hope to hear of some time travel books I have yet to read & hope others will discover some new ones too.
