Paul | 341 comments Hello Everyone,

I'm so pleased to find this Group of intrepid Time Travelers! In the few days since I joined I've been browsing your bookshelf and have come across some excellent possibilities. My reading list is growing again. Thank you for that.

I've also added a couple of novels that weren't already there, but were the first to inspire me as a TT reader, collector, and writer. I suspect many of you, if not most, have already read "Time and Again" by Jack Finney, but I entered it for the next new members who might be exploring the shelves. It really got me started as a traveler.

The other one is "If I Never Get Back" by Darryl Brock. It may be known to fewer readers, but I was intrigued by the endless possibilities of Time Travel. This guy finds himself in the 19th century and gets to hang out with Mark Twain? Count me in! And I enjoy this type of protagonist -- no superhero, not a bad guy, just a regular person with his share of flaws. You'll notice the author likes baseball, but don't let that stop you; you don't need to know the game. It's really a love story.

Thanks again.

PAUL SHERMAN

Heather(Gibby) (heather-gibby) | 469 comments Thanks for the suggestions Paul. I had never heard of If I Never Get Back before, and it just so happens I have to read a baseball themed book for a book challenge I am in, so I can satisfy my love of Time Travel and knock a book out of the challenge all at the same time.

Hi Paul!!

Amy is a huge Jack Finney fan. I really did not get into Time and Again when it was a group read. Maybe it was just to verbose or I needed to be in a certain mood to really appreciate it. Perhaps I will take another stab sometime.
