I'm so conflicted . . .

Apparently Moff is adapting The Time Traveller's Wife for HBO. Do not know if want? It's intellectual incest at the very least.

This feels vaguely like a joke. Is it April and I didn't notice? No, Variety believes it too, apparently.

I suppose I should finally get around to reading that thing . . .

Well, it's hard to say no to an endorsement like that. And I know lots of people love it. You've certainly made me more excited to give it a go.

I don't think reading it would mess with Doctor Who - it's a wonderful work of art in its own right (and one of the very, very few books that reliably makes me cry) - but I think you would undoubtedly notice all the things Moffat has consciously or unconsciously taken from it. But I don't think that's a bad thing.
I think that's part of why I've been putting it off, lol. I can tell it will be an emotional investment!

Ha, well, I hope you do enjoy it! Will be v interested to know your thoughts as and when you do read it. Obviously it’s v much my personal taste, and I do seem to have a *thing* for long, meandering, epic stories where you can’t really summarise the plot but get super invested in the world and characters (see also: American Gods, Carter Beats The Devil, Perdido Street Station) but argh I love it so.
