FW: Audio Book Club-Timeline-1

[Stephen Dawes]

Hi all'

This is a little off topic, but something that I thought that some of you
may be interested in.

Attached is a service that is offered through our public library, that is
quite interesting.  I will add here, that you don't need to live here in
God's Country to make use of it.

For you that are not interested, sorry to plug up your e-mail with this
note.  For you who like the idea, give it a try and enjoy.

Oh yeah, there are a number of services through the Chapter A Day club that
might interest you so have a snoop at their site.  All the information is in
the attached note.

Welcome to the Calgary Public Library Audio OnLine Book
Club. Each day, Monday through Friday, in your email, you'll
receive a short "listen" from a chapter of a book. After you've
listened to 2 or 3 chapters of a book we'll start a new book.

To listen to this audiobook selection, you need to have Real Player, which
is available free from http://www.real.com/player  (the link for the free
player is at the bottom of their webpage.)

We hope you enjoy the Audio OnLine Book Club. We'd love to hear from

Today's Selection is:

TIMELINE
by: Michael Crichton
read by: Stephen Lang

Published by: Random House AudioBooks

To reference this email: Timeline (Part 1 of 5)

===============================================

Dear Listener,

Since Mark Twain wrote "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court"
literature has given us a long list of Time Travel stories, From "The Time
Machine" by H.G. Wells to James Cameron's "The Terminator". We are
fascinated with the idea that we might be able to go back and take
another shot at moments lost and gone.

If you ask Stephen Hawking, the premier scientist of our time, he will tell
you that time travel is impossible for a very simple reason, if there were a
time in the future when all the concrete laws of physics were reduced to
simple etiquette by the extreme advances of science, and time travel
became a possibility, then wouldn't there be "Time Tourists" visiting us
right here and now?

You would see them at reunion rock concerts for "The Who" and "The
Rolling Stones", legends who won't live long enough to see a future
where the past is just a press of a button away. You would know them
by their space age Hawaiian shirts, their mirrored contact lenses, their
cybertronic implants poking out from under their fluorescent colored hair.
Come to think of it, they could look like anything, it is the future after
all,
and maybe they are around us right now.

So, keep your eyes peeled, and remember, the future begins tomorrow.

Thanks for listening with me.
