I love books like this that deal with time travel in an interesting way, with a touch of the supernatural and unexplained. Stephen King's 11/22/63 was kind of like this, and in many ways that book could be a considered spiritual successor to Replay. They share similar elements, themes and are both c...

Anyone ever read / heard of this? Lookin' at you, my science fiction expert buddies. Some guy just told me that it's an underappreciated classic.

I read this in a 24-hour period. I couldn't put it down, but I don't know if I liked the ending yet.

I seldom read fiction, but I'm glad I read this one.My favorite blog, Auxiliary Memory, recommended this book.

Like a time travel story, only a bit different.The main idea is simple enough: 43 years old Jeff Winston dies of a hearth attack, but then he wakes up in '63, i...

There are no do-overs in life, but what if there were? What if you could go back to say, your freshman year in college and start again from there? What would you do differently? And then, if you had to do it again, starting from the same point, living about 25 years, and then starting over again. An...

I'm tempted to file this under "horror". I'm still collecting my thoughts about this one.Jeff Winston dies in Oct, 1988. And finds himself back in 1963, in his college dorm room, reliving his whole life over again. Freaked out beyond words at first, he slowly begins to realise he's got the chance to...
