This book was taken from Briggate phone box library in Norfolk. It is a paperback in very good condition.
From the cover:- "A vision of limitless possibility, of new roads taken, of new lives lived -New York Times.
I have previously read and enjoyed another copy of this book so picked it up to release to another bookcrosser.
"Gets to the heart of what matters in life"- Sunday Express.

This book was posted to another bookcrosser.

To the finder:-
Welcome to bookcrossing -you have found a travelling book. Please make a journal entry now to say where you found the book in case it has been moved. Then, when you have read it, please come back and make a further entry saying whether or not you enjoyed the book and why. It is now yours to do as you like with it, pass it to a friend or just leave it somewhere different for someone else to find and help it with its' journey. Of course if you can't bear to part with it at the moment then keep it, but please let me know that you have found it. If you join bookcrossing, which is free and spam-free, you can follow the book on its' travels as you will get an email each time it changes hands, but if you prefer to remain anonymous, that's fine too. Please also say what you intend to do with the book next. Thanks for coming onto the site to let me know you have found the book.

I already have books travelling in many countries around the world-a list can be found on my bookcrossing profile.

When re-releasing this book please be aware that airports are not a good place to leave books unless they have a specific book exchange shelf or area, due to security problems, so they may well just be disposed of. Also charity shops may well discard books that have been labelled in any way and they mostly chose only the books in the very best condition
to place on their shelves and discard the rest-so another bad release option.

Arrived safely along with its friends. I recently read my first book by the author and look forward to reading it. Thanks for sharing.

We humans generally see the world in three dimensions, we think that our lives follow a straight line of destiny without often realising the millions of choices that we make every day. Some are big, some are small but every time we take one decision over another, the outcomes differ. An irreversible variation occurs, which in turn leads to further variations. The books in this particular library are portals to all the lives we could be living and 'The Midnight Library' is simply a depository of regrets and endless possibility.

"Every life contains many millions of decisions," says Mrs. Elm.

Here Haig takes what could have been to the extreme and presents life as being of unlimited possibilities, a world where each life is not unlike a tree with numerous branches and sub-branches sprouting off one central trunk and one set of roots, a life where even something as basic as living is a choice.

I found this an interesting premise and one that got me thinking about my own life's decisions. I found it well written and generally gripping but I also felt that it got rather bogged down in the middle as Haig tried to sell the "science" behind it. This could have been a really interesting parable but sadly it just missed the mark. Overall I still enjoyed it.

Going across the pond as a BookMooch. Enjoy!

Received in good shape and excited to read it. This book has won many awards.
