I'm reading Stephen King's new novel about a guy who can enter a time portal that takes him back to a September day in 1958.  From here, the fellow can do any number of things that can change the course of history.  There are historical references throughout the book that allow you to think back on an era past and wonder how we ever made it through a day without cell phones or our google machines.

The story line is pretty good, although I get a little hung up on probability and paradoxes.  King's writing is adequate, but, really, it's the story that is carrying the book.  So far.

More later - it's a chore of a book.  Almost 900 pages.
