Finished reading Time's Arrow by Martin Amis. I imagine the conversation with the publisher after webt like this: "Oh yes very clever very clever Martin. Fabulous premise...is there much more to it than that or is this sort of it?" 2.5 stars.

I read Time's Arrow in my post-modernism English class. I absolutely love this book. The premise is amazing, living one's life backwards - alcohol to wakeup and coffee to go to sleep. The character has such an interesting life and is a part of key history moments that in reverse are seen as blessings. A must read for anyone looking for a good read with a twist.
