"You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians."--Monty Python

PATRON PICKS--Time and Again

Louise's pick is Time and Again, by Jack Finney

Synopsis:
First published in 1970, this highly original cult classic tells the story of Simon Morley, a young Manhattan illustrator who is selected by a secret government agency--presumably to test Einstein's theory that the past actually co-exists with the present--and finds himself suddenly transported back to the New York of the 1880s. Written with style and elegance, this bold, visionary novel provides "Mind-boggling, imagination-stretching, exciting, romantic entertainment."-- San Francisco Examiner.

Louise says:  I read this book years ago and have never forgotten it.  I loved the use of historical photos in the book.  One of the best time-travel novels ever!
