Maybe just to see yourself young and handsome again? Or maybe because you can't help it. Have you read The Time Traveler's Wife? I really loved it.

I second the recommendation and would also like to name check Lethem's book: As She Climbed Across the Table.

Will also add this to my wish list. Is it a good summer read? ;-)

I'd call it a good read, regardless of the season in which it's read.

Nope, I'll put it on my reading's list!

What are you reading right now?

An Encyclopedia Of An Ordinary Life, advanced reader's copy from evil_onna_stick. It's really quite funny. I imagine the writer is a bit like Erma Bombeck (find her if you haven't ever heard of her) for today. She's written several books about motherhood (Erma's specialty) and her voice is all about "humorous everyday occurrences". I've laughed my ass off in the subway at least once every ride.
