Differences of Opinion

I finished The Time Traveler's Wife Thursday afternoon and had the opportunity to discuss it with five other women later that evening. It was interesting to see who had read the book and who had instead seen the movie and then compare the likes/dislikes of either media (in relatively general terms since all present had not seen or read). The conversation reminded me that a portion of the joy of reading is the later discussion regarding thoughts and feelings that we each experience when exposed to a work. (Thank you book club.)

I enjoyed the book and think I read it at just the right place in my life. When exploring something new, the "when" is as important as the "what", but of course, you already know that.
