If Audrey Niffenegger’s debut novel hadn’t been about time travel, I probably would never have picked it up. But it was, and of all the time travel books I ever read, it is one of the best. As a result, I wrote this blog entry.

Niffenegger’s Literary Agency, Regal Literary, contacted me and sent me an Advanced Reader’s Copy of her next book to be released in September, titled Her Fearful Symmetry. Now here is the benefit of being a blogger and doing book reviews. Your favorite authors send you free books ahead of the market! Thanks Regal Literary.

Of course, this caused some shuffling on my reading shelf. Hamilton’s Judas Unchained, a 1000 page science fiction tome that I started reading on the flight back from Boston to San Diego on Friday, is now on the back burner, and I am two chapters into Her Fearful Symmetry.
