The real problem with working at McLean Hospital...

[arib]

On a day like this, when the sun's out, the temperature's nice, and the trees and grass are starting to turn green again, I want to stop what I'm doing, go outside, sit under a tree and read a good book.

*sigh*

That said, recommend a book, if you would. I've just finished all of Kage Baker's Dr. Zeus books, which I borrowed from my dad after hearing a few people (my friend Mordechai and penmage) talk about how good they were. I'm re-reading Alan Steele's "Chronospace" now, but will finish it soon. I seem to be on a time travel/alternate history kick.

threetimes once recommended me Flash Forward by Robert J. Sawyer. Amazon has a good synopsis of the plot - essentially, everyone on Earth is flashed forward 21 years, for a span of several minutes; when they return, they have to deal with what they saw - or didn't see - as well as the mass chaos and destruction caused by having everyone on Earth drop unconscious all at once.

Calculating God by the same author is also supposed to be very good, but it doesn't deal with time travel exactly in any sort of way.

Of course, I could always just break out the "What should I read next?" reader advisory database (yes, we have those) too...
