			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Who remembers the WABAC Machine?  This was from <em>Peabody&#8217;s Improbable History</em>, a show-within-a show <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-724" src="http://sheistoofondofbooks.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/wayback-machine2.png" alt="" width="300" height="200" />during the <em>Rocky and Bullwinkle</em> cartoons of the 1960s (disclaimer:  I watched the <span style="text-decoration:underline;">re-runs</span>!).  Peabody would set the WABAC machine to a date in the past, and give unsuspecting viewers a history lesson!  For a blast from the past, read the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayback_Machine">Wikipedia article </a>on the subject.</p>
<p>A few weeks ago I bought the July/August 2008 issue of <a href="http://www.bookmarksmagazine.com/">Bookmarks</a> magazine, which had an extensive article on Time Travel in a cover-grabbing article called &#8220;Great Science Fiction&#8221;.  Science fiction, <em>moi?  </em>Apparently, <em>oui</em>, as several books on my bookcase involve the subject of time-travel.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-722" src="http://sheistoofondofbooks.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/confessions-of-a-jane-austen-addict.jpg?w=63" alt="" width="63" height="96" />In the past few months I&#8217;ve <a href="http://sheistoofondofbooks.wordpress.com/2008/07/01/book-review-confessions-of-a-jane-austen-addict/">reviewed</a> <em>Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict</em>, a fun novel about a <img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-723" src="http://sheistoofondofbooks.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/miss-alcott1.jpg?w=61" alt="" width="61" height="96" />present-day Los Angelean who wakes up in Regency-period England, and <em>Miss Alcott&#8217;s E-Mail</em> (<a href="http://sheistoofondofbooks.wordpress.com/2008/08/14/book-review-miss-alcotts-e-mail-by-kit-bakke/">here</a>), a clever biography of Louisa May Alcott.</p>
<p>Other time-travel books on Bookmarks&#8217; list include:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Time and Again </em>by Jack Finney (I&#8217;ve read this one, too!)</li>
<li><em>A Wrinkle in Time </em>by Madeline L&#8217;Engle</li>
<li>&#8220;A Sound of Thunder&#8221; a short story by Ray Bradbury</li>
<li><em>Doomsday Book</em> by Connie Willis</li>
<li><em>The Time Traveler&#8217;s Wife </em>by Audrey Niffeneger</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What other time travel books have you read?  Are there other suggestions for a non-science-fiction reader like me?  I enjoyed the three that I&#8217;ve read because they focus on the result of the time-travel, not the technical process of getting there &#8230;</strong></p>
