Albom
Hyperion announced today that they’ll be publishing The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom on August 28. This is a “magical” new novel about Father Time that casts the fairy-tale figure in a new light: as the person who first attempted to track time. It’s the first novel in six years from Albom, who originally struck literary gold in 1997 with Tuesdays with Morrie, a memoir about the death of his friend and mentor, teacher Morrie Schwartz.
“We are excited once again to share a new Mitch Albom book with his beloved fans and readers,” said Hyperion President and Publisher Ellen Archer. “Mitch taps into an issue we all struggle with these days—our time and what we make of it. His novel will spark a lot of conversation about how we live our lives now—and what we can’t afford to forget.”
Albom’s modern-day parables have moved millions and The Time Keeper isn’t likely to be an exception. Will you look out for it?

I bet this one’s gonna be another great book from the master storyteller…I must have read Tuesdays with Morrie some 3-4 times so eagerly awaiting the launch of this one as well…even did a short preview of it on my personal blog

I love, love, LOVE Mitch Albom’s books–and cannot wait to read this one!
I am not what you would call a “bookworm” in that I don’t go around reading all the time. To me if a book can’t teach me something or leave me in a better frame of mind than before I read it, then to me it is pointless to waste my time on it. After reading the first book by Mitch Albom I knew I was hooked! I can’t hardly stand to put one of his books down once I’ve started reading it! His work is anything BUT ordinary! Check it out for yourself!
