Remembrance of Things I Forgot
Remembrance of Things I Forgot: A Novel | Bob Smith
1 post | 1 to read
Its safe to say your relationship is in trouble if the only way you can imagine solving your problems is by borrowing a time machine. In 2006 comic book dealer John Sherkston has decided to break up with his physicist boyfriend, Taylor Esgard, on the very day Taylor announces hes finally perfected a time machine for the U.S government. John travels back to 1986, where he encounters Junior, his younger, more innocent self. When Junior starts to flirt, John wonders how to reveal his identity: Im you, only with less hair and problems you cant imagine. He also meets up with the younger Taylor, and this unlikely trio teams up to plot a course around their future relationship troubles, prevent Johns sister from making a tragic decision, and stop George W. Bush from becoming president. In this wickedly comic, cross-country, time-bending journey, John confronts his ownand the nationsblunders, learning that a second chance at changing things for the better also brings new opportunities to screw them up. Through edgy humor, time travel, and droll one-liners, Bob Smith examines family dysfunction, suicide, New York City, and recent American history while effortlessly blending domestic comedy with science fiction. Part acidic political satire, part wild comedy, and part poignant social scrutiny, Remembrance of Things I Forgot is an uproarious adventure filled with sharp observations about our recent past.

Has anyone read this book? I was looking for a fitting title for this post and found it. Kinda sounds interesting!

We all know now how forgetful I am! Here are week 3 stats! I just barely didn‘t make my exercise goal, but I crushed my step goal!

This week is a no exercise week. We have been breaking our record high temps and it‘s just miserable outside.

wanderinglynn Way to go! 🙌🏻 And definitely take this week to focus on self-care until the temps drop. 👍🏻 5y
CocoReads Yeah I‘m no exercise either. I should be able to do some stretching on Friday. Our weather is actually pretty nice which is great because I‘m going to a baseball game (we have a cubs farm team) on Saturday and a riverboat cruise on Sunday. 😁 5y
