I'm just assuming that WUS types also have a special interest in time travel. Am I correct? Of course, over the years we've seen lots of great time travel literature, movies and TV shows, but I'm interested in what your favs are in hopes of finding something new to read, watch, etc. One of the cleverest time travel books I've ever read was a take off on Wells's, "The Time Machine," in which one of the Time Traveler's circle of friends (a surgeon) turned out to be Jack, the Ripper. To escape being caught, the Ripper steals the Time Traveler's machine and ends up in the 1970s. The Time Traveler pursues him to the 70s and thereby hangs the tale. A very good read. It's called, "Time After Time," and it was also made into a decent movie, starring Malcom McDowell. What else is out there? Jim

Ray Bradbury had a GREAT little story called "A Sound Of Thunder!" It's about some distant-future presidential candidate who, upon learning that he'd just won the election, arranged for a safari - back in time to hunt a Tyranasaurus Rex! Of course, predictably, things begin to "run amok" the moment they open the door of their machine and enter a Juraissac jungle! ... The beauty in the story isn't so much what it involves - although that's quite interesting all by itself - rather, it's all the little "quirks" that Bradbury seems to conjur up along the way. You find yourself sayin' stuff like, "Yeah - that makes sense!" Like the little "bump" that jostled their time machine as they were traveling back millions of years - the guide said something like, "Don't worry that's just us coming back!" TRIPPY! I won't spoil the story by telling what happens, but there's quite a "lesson to be learned" from the outfitters, "Tyme Safari's, Inc.!" But I digress! BTW, I JUST "Google'd" Bradbury + "Tyme" and I FOUND THE STORY at http://www.is.wayne.edu/mnissani/WWI/thunder.htm Be sure to click on over to see it ... Trust me, it's "worth the read!" ...  I'll keep checking this thread 'cause I, for one, am DEFINITELY into tyme travel! ... Last edited on Tue Aug 22nd, 2006 12:37 am by Doofus |
