CJ and Annie: I bought that book too. In fact, it is sitting on my bookshelf. I got it right after the season 3 finale because of "Hoff/Drawler" haha, what a nerd I am, but I got a few chapters in and put it down as well. How did it pan out CJ? Is it worth reading? The only thing I remember is the beginning when the guy attacks them. Other than that, I forget what I read.

I was curious about it because of the time displacement angle of it. It was a quick read, moderately interesting, (ould have been more so if I were a true Sci Fi fan) d enjoyable looking for things that would relate to things that have to do with LOST.

It also helped fill the time waiting for the show to start up again. Smile

Good points, maybe I will pick it up again, who knows.

Thanks Cosmic! I'm not really a big Sci FI fan myself, but maybe I'll try it again.

There's a love story entwined through it too Annie and the choices people make about it.

So weird, I was reading this article about The Large Hadron Collider they are turning on today and it mentioned that it was used in the book "Flash Forward" by Robert J. Sawyer. The Sawyer reference of the author is also another reason why I picked the book up in the first place. I thought it was rather..... well, coincidental. Kind of like this Hadron Collider being mentioned in the book that we were just talking about which Lost references.

I was watching Heros earlier and everything is coming together in their season 1.... kind of like everything is coming together here and it kind of freaks me out. I, for one, don't believe in coincidence. I am more of a fate man.... and everything happens for a reason.

I heard this (favorite Partial quote) said by Mel Gibsons character in the movie "Signs"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0286106/quotes
Graham Hess:
"Are you the kind that sees signs, sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky? Or, look at the question this way: Is it possible that there are no coincidences?"
I believe in the latter.That statement had a profound affecting feeling for me. flower

Synchronicity happens quite a lot for me KSJ. Very Deepok Choprah. I was reading Flashforward, seeing discussions on the internet about CERN, find out you and JW have the same book, and watching LOST.
