Time Turns Elastic
Finished Tinkers. What I enjoyed about the book is the elasticity of time and how the relationship b/w father and son flourished. I like the mythology aspect; how Howard became a manifestation of that death that George collapsed onto in the end. I finally liked the end, especially how it was so simple, yet filled with such magnitude. Great book, never really liked books that focused on death, but this one does wonders with the morbid topic.

I still need to start it. I loaned it to a woman who was on the Phoenix trip to read on the plane. She was half way through when we landed, so I told her to bring it back to me next week. The little I read seemed fun. I don't mind death as a theme. My students accuse me of showing them nothing but death the first semester. Although it is more carpe diem, but they see that as a death theme. Negative children. Ha!
