Time Travel discussion

JUNE TIME TRAVEL NEWSLETTER
Hello to all of you traveling through time with me at the current rate of 24 hours per day. It appears that we’ve arrived a month in the future yet again. And that means that it’s time, once again, to update you all on the past, present, and future of time travel fact and fiction. Hoorah!

TIME TRAVEL BOOK CLUB
Join us in June to read the classic time travel novel, TIME AND AGAIN by Jack Finney: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

BOOK GIVEAWAYS
Enter now to win a copy of CAUGHT IN A MOMENT by Martin Dukes. It is the story of Alex Trueman, a teenager who daydreams himself unwittingly into the strange world of Intersticia. This is a world outside of ordinary time that exists in the slender intervals between instants. From Alex's point of view the world around him freezes into immobility. At first it seems that he alone is free to wander the hushed streets with their motionless cars and people. But he is not alone: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

TIME TRAVEL MOVIES
Ethan Hawke is starring in the movie PREDESTINATION which is based on one of my favorite short stories by Robert A. Heinlein, "ALL YOU ZOMBIES". (chosen to open the Melbourne International Film Festival on July 31): http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/m...

I always feel like I’m time traveling to the ‘80s when I see the ageless Tom Cruise starring in movies. This time, it’s the EDGE OF TOMORROW where his last day of battle with aliens gets time looped. The movie is based on the book ALL YOU NEED IS KILL by Hiroki Sukurazaka. (in theaters June 6): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1631867/

DIVERSIONS
This article about TIME TRAVEL FROM ANCIENT MYTHOLOGY TO MODERN SCIENCE makes some interesting references to time travel in ancient texts as well as scientists who are working hard to be the ones featured in said texts: http://www.davidreneke.com/time-trave...#

WINTER BLUES LEAD TO SUMMER TIME TRAVEL RUSH. Wait a minute. That’s not about time travel at all. One should mind their titles: http://www.foxbusiness.com/personal-f...

But strangely this Swiss site really does promise TIME TRAVEL PACKAGES. I’ll take the glaciers. Thanks: http://www.myswitzerland.com/en-us/ze...

Here’s a TIME TRAVEL VIDEO THAT MERGES TWO CENTURIES IN LONDON (1924 and 2014). Is it just me, or does modern London look less spectacular simply because of casual fashion? http://youtu.be/U-9ya-v1Zmw

Apparently, 9% OF POLLED AMERICANS BELIEVE TIME TRAVEL OR SPACE ALIENS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MALAYSIAN PLANE DISAPPEARANCE. Not surprisingly, 90% of the 9% still believe in Santa Claus … : https://twitter.com/aedwardslevy/stat...

And now I remember why I don't use html in broadcast newsletters. Thanks to the unpredictability of GoodReads, it only sometimes actually results in working links. My apologies. Hopefully everyone redirected themselves here where I've had to remove the html and add the links at the end to get them to work. Bleh.
