The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

So, what am I reading now, you ask? Well, I'm re-reading a favorite: The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. I picked it up last night at around 7 and read 100 pages. I love it!!! It's about a man who has a chromosome disorder that causes him to travel back-and-forth in time. He can take nothing with him on his travels (clothes, money, food etc.) and so much of his time when he arrives somewhere is spent finding/stealing money or clothes. It's really a love story between the two main characters, Clare and Henry. They meet for the first time when she is 6 and he is 36. Through their meetings they eventually fall in love (many years after she is out of her teenage years) and then deal with the struggles of trying to live a normal life. The real struggle between the two is that Henry has experiences where Clare can't go and can't share in, at least in the present. (Not that she would want to - Henry goes through hell in his "disease".) Check it out
