Has anyone in this thread recommended Connie Willis' book "To Say Nothing of the Dog"? A wonderful time travel book, with time travelers returning to Victorian England (among other times and places) to retrieve "the Bishop's Birdstump" from Coventry Cathedral. Except they don't know what the I^*&*&(T the darn thing is! And they're spaced out from too many time-travel jaunts in too little elapsed (personal) time. And the briefing was bollixed up. And...
A splendid book. Side-splittingly funny. And even more so if you've read "Three Men in a Boat" by Jerome K. Jerome. (And if you haven't, you should. My sister described him to her children as "the Victorian's Dave Barry." Another hysterically funny book.)
