I will come back to this one. Just no time to really sit back and enjoy this. It is intriguing, though.

This is an interesting little variations-on-a-theme exercise, similar to Invisible Cities, only using time instead of place as the theme. Not quite as magical/beautiful as IC, but really good and imaginative even so. An excellent mass transit read.

amazing book, makes you think a lot. interesting concepts about time and stuff. :)

Big things come in small packages. It’s an old cliche but it applies here. This small sized book packs quite the thoughtful punch. One part philosophy, one part science fiction this is a series of essays on the nature of time. It sounds a bit cut and dried, but physist Alan Lightman insteads gives us a short essay on a variety of worlds in which time runs at different rates, speeds and works in different ways. The pieces are thought-provoking, interesting and entertaining. This is a book you’ll read and still be thinking about later.
