Not that Niffenegger's novel needs my recommendation, but I'd been saving this for a time when I could read it uninterrupted and a train to DC certainly did the trick. It's wondrous, witty and infused with the right mix of humor and tragedy that all the conceits work really well. And while it's not necessarily a new way to tell a love story, it comes quite close.
