sleeping, knowing/not knowing, time, gravity, falling, vanishing, past/present/future , entropy... all are interconnected in a fairy tale
I made it!
Does anyone know how VL is doing?

We haven't heard from her this week. I hope she is Okej!
I hope so too! I missed last week... do you think it would be ok to post my thoughts now?
Hey Morgan!
I love The Langoliers. It's soooo different than any time-rift/time-travel story I've ever read. Usually characters, who travel to a previous time, enter a world as it was during that previous time; they don't step back into a time in which past time is fading and soon to disappear into the nothingness of before now. Voids are scary! And creatures who crunch and munch spent time are even scarier I began thinking of the langoliers as time garbage disposals. How did y'all view them?

I liked that too
Albert was such a likable character He became the hero he had only been in his daydreams.That is a good observation! I can only think of one similar book. It is one one by Christopher Priest, a british sf-writer. It was called An Inverted World.Hey Morgan!

I started a new thread for tonight's discussion. The Langoliers 1/30/15 Reading & Discussion Group.
What Mr. King did was so unique! If you think of it, it makes more sense that future time would be a sort of void--lifeless--than that we'd step into time streaming along around us. Just dropping into the future would change things!
I'll check that out, thanks! I love stories about time rifts and space rifts. I used to read a lot of sci-fi and I'm a big Doctor Who fan
Hey folks! I only have a few minutes, but glad to see y'all here. I can't stay tonight but will read up on your thoughts tomorrow. Been a long week here.
Hope VL (and her folks) are ok. Enjoy the discussion. I will hope to catch up on the next story!
