Ray in Reverse by Daniel Wallace "the funny and poignant story of a life, told backward. Sitting in the Last Words support group in Heaven, Ray Williams ruminates on his short life of fifty years, his episodes of infidelity, his premature marriage proposal, his sexual confusion, the dog he accidentally killed, and the baby he unwittingly saved. ... Beginning at death and ending in his childhood, Ray in Reverse leads us back to Ray in his innocence, achieving, against all odds, a happy ending."

John Green | 63 comments I'm a sucker for Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny. And do hold your nose when you come to the pun which George R.R. Martin claims is the main reason that Roger Zelazny wrote this book ...

Jeff B. | 7 comments Almost all Kurt Vonnegut books - either thru old man writing a journal (hocus pocus, mother night, bluebeard, deadeye dick) or thru time travel (sirens of titan, slaughterhouse five) tell you the ending and then go from there.
