Time Traveler's Wife, by Audrey Niffenegger

This a re-re-re-re-re-read, or something like that. This book is my, "oh, no, I don't have a book, what do I read?" book. It's one of the only books that can hold my attention every time I read it and elicit a strong emotional response. I'm not much of a sentimental crier, but I have cried over this one. Not this time, though.

I also love how much the music and pop culture references are just right for me. I imagine that's not true for everyone, but it matches pretty well for me.

There's a TV show on NBC called Journeyman, that we are enjoying despite its flaws, and I feel certain that the creators read The Time Traveler's Wife at some point. Similar set up, though obviously you don't get as deep with the characters in 50 minutes of network television.
