So, I think anyone who was going to read Time Traveler's Wife has read it by now.
What books are we thinking about next?
I am just starting a non-fiction book by Timothy Keller called "The Reason for God; Belief in an Age of Skepticism."
Instead of copying the synopsis I'll just list off some of the chapter titles:
-How could a Good God allow Suffering?
-Christianity is a straight jacket
-Science has disproved Christianity
-You can't take the Bible literally
In this book Keller discusses the common doubts/questions that prevent people from being Christians. I've only read the intro, but it's pretty good so far. He seems to take a fairly unbiased approach from both sides of the arguement and encourages doubt with the caveat of researching answers.
Love you all!

Question 3: Age Factor?
did the age factor ever creep you out? like a 6 year old Clare to a 30 year old Henry. do you think it was weird, even though he tried his hardest to keep it wholesome?
and, did any of you see the movie?

Question 1: God, determinism, free will
One of my favorite passages early on is p. 74-78 in which henry and clare talk about free will and determinism and god. These topics come up frequently in the book as henry chooses what he tells clare about their future. E.g. he tells her how she likes her coffee and who her favorite poet is.
He asks her what universe she wants and which she believes in block, chaos, christian. What say you?
