I bought this book at a garage sale for a quarter. I totally fell in love. This is one of my top 10 fave books ever. I know, it's totally nerdy of me. I'm a sci-fi geek through and through. I LOVE the speculation and creative ideas about how the world is turning out after billions and billions of years. I understand the comment someone said about it being like groundhog day with the day being relived again and again but I looked past that. I could hardly put this book down. I read it in a single day. This book led me to dozens more of Jack Williamson's books. Most are great as long as you can get past that arrogant male hero thing that most old books from the 40's/50's have-the storylines are 100% awesome. As you can probably tell by my review...I'll never be a writer myself :( I keep hinting around to my boyfriend that I want a first edition signed by Jack as a gift but he just keeps not getting it...looks like I'll have to buy it for myself.

I started reading this book when I was in middle school, but I didn't get too far. This time around, I ate it up. Sister Helen Prejean argues against the death penalty with respect and consideration for the opposition. She seems like a lady I'd love to meet.

WHY: I and Logan have loved the E. Nesbit books, but this title, reissued by the New York Review, is unfamiliar to me. The famous Arden family treasure has been missing for generations, and the last members of the Arden line, Edred, Elfrida, and their Aunt Edith, have nothing to their names but the crumbling castle they live in. With time travel, the help of a magical talking creature (the temperamental Mouldiwarp), and adventures involving witches, highwaymen, and renegades, they attempt to save their family home. Sounds fun.
