As for the time travel connection between the two novels, I think it's just a random event. My all-time favorite book: TIME AND AGAIN by Jack Finney.

Many, many thanks for looking me up, and thank you very much for your kind words. I'm delighted to know you enjoyed the book. p.s. Your English is far better than my Portuguese--well done!

I'm sorry to report that I didn't win my tennis match, but I did hold my own, so, not bad for a first-timer. :) Sophie, I don’t think seeing the film will spoil your love for the book–but given the price of movie tickets, you might wait for it to come out on DVD.

I probably will, though! Congrats on the five pounds and good luck in your match! I loved The Time Traveller’s Wife so I’m a bit hesitant to see the film. I probably will, though!

TTW had low expectations, though. It's my second all-time favorite novel and there's no way the real story could be captured in 2+ hours. Unfortunately that was a correct assumption yet a bit of character development would have been nice. Still there is hope with talk of TTW becoming a TV series...ah, that would be SO much better, Hollywood!
