I gave my life to become the person I am right now.
Was it worth it?

From Publishers Weekly:
Readers will need a willing suspension of disbelief to enjoy this earnest pastiche of inspirational memoir/romantic adventure/science fiction, but then Bach's fans have swallowed everything from Jonathan Livingston Seagull to The Bridge Across Forever. Under the spell of quantum physics, Bach and his wife Leslie are catapulted into an alternate world, in which they exist simultaneously in many different incarnations. First they encounter themselves as they were 16 years ago on the day they first met; in this version of their lives, they do not marry, and never achieve the happiness Bach assures us that their real union has produced. Then we see Leslie as a poverty-stricken teenager who gives up her ambition to be a concert pianist, and Richard as an Air Force fighter pilot who will be responsible for the deaths of people in wartime. The adventures go farther afield to include encounters with Attila the Hun, with the "idea fairy," Tink, who wears a hard hat and works in a foundry, with a 12th century hermit who teaches Richard and Leslie that "whoever wants truth and light" should eschew organized religion, and many others. Each of the inspirational set pieces preaches the same message: of the power of each individual to choose the ways of peace, brotherhood and love, to live with a reverence for nature and at harmony with the universe. Bach again displays an inventive imagination and inspirational zeal, and these little homilies can either be uplifting or mightily boring, depending on the reader's point of view. Literary Guild alternate.

Here are the rules:

1. When you receive the book, make a journal entry so we all get the thrill of knowing where it's at.

2. Send a private message (PM) to the next person in line for their address. If they do not respond within three days, PM them again. If they do not respond within a week of your first message, PM the person after them and contact me.

3. Read the book, within 30 days, and make a journal entry to tell us what you have thought about the book. You can be as brief or as lengthy as you wish with your thoughts about the book.
Please remember, that there are many anxious readers patiently waiting to read the book after you. Please bear this in mind! If you tend to be a slow reader, like myself, and need the month to finish the book, please make a periodic journal entry indicating how far you are into the story, or thoughts about what you have read so far. This way we know that the book has not been forgotten in your ‘to-be-read’ pile.

4. When you are ready to send the book to the next person in line, make release notes/a journal entry to say when the book is leaving your hands and who'll be catching it next, and pop it into the post!

5. To the last person on the list: Please PM me and I will send you my mailing address:)

Thank you for participating!

***When you receive a PM from the person before you, letting you know that you are next in line, and you find yourself overwhelmed with book commitments,(or just life in general) Please PM me and I may be able to move you farther down the list.

The envelope was torn when I received it, but the book seems to have survived quite well. I have two rings in front of this one, but I am well into both of them. I should have no trouble finishing this within a month.

Thank you!

I think I'm going to have to look for a copy for my P.C. This book has given me a lot to think about. It really came at an opportune time in my life, when I have been considering some changes. The idea of how our choices shape who we become, the person that we are. How our reality is in our perceptions; The whole idea of seeing the world through rose coloured glasses (or the opposite!)

Will be dropping this off in lauraloo29's mailbox this afternoon.

Thank you again for sharing this book; I probably wouldn't have read it otherwise.

Found in my mailbox! :) For some reason that has just made my day. I've just begun a couple of books (yes that would be 2), but this will be next. Thank you!

I just couldn't get into this book. I feel like I've read it before. Not to worry. I'll be sending it on to Australia next week. Thank you for sharing!

the book finally arrived today.
i will get to it as soon as possible.

never judge a book by its cover...
i really liked this one, a little esoteric but i think that is just bach's style. what he said isn't new to me but i never really thought about thinking and life in this particular way.
very thought provocing, true and fragile. i liked it a lot.

waiting for jubby's address..

07/06 sending it out today...

Thank you for sharing this book with me.

I have been off work with the flu, and it was good to have a book handy to read.

I have read better books on this topic (like 'Einstein's dream'), and found his writing style rather obvious and unsubtle, but I can now say that i have read a Richard Bach novel, and I have an idea what it is that people talk about now.

Thank you again.
