  5. I've always enjoyed Michael Crichton's books, but haven't read Timeline yet. And poor Deanna - hope she's just having a bad empathetic experience or something!

    Great teasers! Here’s mine.

Thank you for visiting! Because of some very clever spambots, I've had to start moderating comments more strictly, but they're approved throughout the day.
