I finished Thief of Time but I'm not quite sure what to think of it. It was...in a word...strange. And I'll leave it at that.
I am now reading the biography of Howard W. Hunter by Eleanor Knowles. I am loving it. I am learning so many fascinating things about him that I never would have even guessed. For example, did you know that he had only one sibling, a younger sister, and that for most of his life, his father was not a member of the church? Did you know that he once toured the Orient as the musical entertainment on a steam liner when he was a teenager? He fronted his own band and played the drums, the clarinet, the trumpet, the piano, and more? In his early twenties, he moved to California on his own? He spent most of his adult life in Cali? He had only two sons? (I find that encouraging.) He married in his mid-twenties and didn't go to law school until later in life?
As I read more about Howard W. Hunter, I feel a kinship with him.

I have ALWAYS loved Howard W. Hunter and he will forever have a special little place in my heart. I know our generation says Pres. Hinkley was "our prophet," but in all honesty, Pres. Hunter is mine.
Awesome life he lived! Good man, highly versed and well-rounded. I like that.
Thief of Time? Who wrote it? What's the premise? I'm still reading the Shopaholic series and finishing Barrayar and working on Life of Pi. I'm all over the place. I just need to buckle down. I was going to read Star Girl next.
Right. I can read. :)
Please ignore my last paragraph's questions.
THANKS!
