Time Traveler's Wife

Okay, I'll admit that I wasn't immediately captivated by this book but with a little encouragement from BW and KJ I plowed onward and now I am finding it hard to put down! I will also admit that I laughed (or some sound that resembled that) when I was reading earlier this morning, and I do mean earlier! Henry is 28 and 33 and his older self has just commanded his younger self to let him sleep or in 5 years he would be sincerely sorry. There is something so mind boggling about the whole idea and yet it is beginning to seem perfectly natural. Then comes the part that makes me laugh or maybe snort would be a more accurate description. As the younger Henry struggles to go back to sleep on the "wrong" side of the bed because his "superfluous body" is sleeping on his side, he begins to look around his apartment and decides it would qualify for "Federal Disaster Relief funds." He then engages in some thoughts of having his "extra self" pitch in by helping around the house. I'm not sure why I found this so funny. Maybe the combination of insommnia and having some very similiar thoughts earlier myself, the disaster part not the extra self part! I don't think I have a superfluous extra self around anywhere, plenty of superfluous other stuff though. Insommnia can be a terrible thing!
