"The Five Times I Met Myself"

James L. Rubart

What if you met your twenty-three-year-old self in a dream? What would you say?
Brock Matthews’ once promising life is unraveling. His coffee company. His marriage.
So when he discovers his vivid dreams—where he encounters his younger self—might let him change his past mistakes, he jumps at the chance. The results are astonishing, but also disturbing.
Because getting what Brock wants most in the world will force him to give up the one thing he doesn’t know how to let go . . . and his greatest fear is that it’s already too late.

"The Five Times I Met Myself" was very different yet captivating at the same time.  It was a good different.  There was so much imagination throughout the whole thing and at the same you wonder if this could actually happen.  

While reading this book, I was reminded of the movie "It's A Wonderful Life". While the main character always exists in this book, he is still given a gift to see how different things could be.  So he uses that gift and soon realizes that things may have been pretty good as they were.  

This book helped me realize that even though we would like to go back and change some things, we may be taking for granted the good things that we already have.  Also, to make the right decisions.  Brock had a lot of problems with making the wrong decisions, but through the gift that he was given, he finally figured it out.  We must be careful and use wisdom in the decisions that we make as well.  Our decisions not only affect our lives, but those around us.  It really makes you stop and put things into perspective and make sure your priorities are right.

I have to admit, I wasn't sure about this book at first.  It took me awhile to actually start reading it, but once I started, I didn't want to put it down.  I was hooked from the very beginning!

"The Five Times I Met Myself" is a very well written, very thought provoking book.  I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone!

"The Methuselah Project"

Rick Barry

Nazi scientists started many experiments. One never ended.

Roger Greene is a war hero. Raised in an orphanage, the only birthright he knows is the feeling that he was born to fly. Flying against the Axis Powers in World War II is everything he always dreamed—until the day he’s shot down and lands in the hands of the enemy.

When Allied bombs destroy both his prison and the mad genius experimenting on POWs, Roger survives. Within hours, his wounds miraculously heal, thanks to those experiments. The Methuselah Project is a success—but this ace is still not free. Seventy years later, Roger hasn’t aged a day, but he has nearly gone insane. This isn’t Captain America—just a lousy existence only made passable by a newfound faith. The Bible provides the only reliable anchor for Roger’s sanity and his soul. When he finally escapes, there’s no angelic promise or personal prophecy of deliverance, just confusion. It’s 2015—and the world has become an unrecognizable place.

Katherine Mueller—crack shot, genius, and real Southern Belle—offers to help him find his way home. Can he convince her of the truth of his crazy story? Can he continue to trust her when he finds out she works for the very organization he’s trying to flee?

**********************************************

This book has a very interesting story line.  One that intrigued me.  I have always enjoyed reading about the WWII era and thought this would be different.  Well, it was different, but unfortunately, it didn't click with me.  Keeping track of the two different timelines was confusing and hard to keep up with and kind of weird.

I'm just not one for science fiction.  But if you enjoy science fiction, then you should definitely read this book.
