Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?

I am reading The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger not the easiest of reads, and I have all but given it up a couple of times....but I am intrigued by the fact that it was in the best sellers list for ages.
The story is a bit surreal(maybe metaphysical would be a better description) is hard to follow because it seems to jump backwards and forwards. I sometimes think that I am perhaps getting too old to waste time(if any reading can be called a waste of time?)reading something that isn't enjoyable.......and yet I can't just leave it!

I had the same trouble with Sophies World by Jostein Gaardner........I persevered with it, and can't really say I enjoyed it....but I have kept it because I might just have another go at reading it again....see if a second read makes it make more sense.
