Monday Madness: Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

 Monday Madness is a new bookish meme hosted by Booklover's Teaparty and Bookfever.

You know that feeling when you feel like you are gonna go mad if you do not get a certain book right away, when you are obsessed and all you want is that one book and you will be happy? That is what Monday Madness is about. All those books you that drive you mad. 

Pick a book. Talk about it- why do you want it? What has drawn you to it? Why is it making you mad with want for it? 

      

       Outlander by Diana Gabaldon 

                             

  

The year is 1945. Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is just back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon when she walks through a standing stone in one of the ancient circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach—an “outlander”—in a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans in the year of Our Lord...1743.

Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire is catapulted into the intrigues of lairds and spies that may threaten her life, and shatter her heart. For here James Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior, shows her a love so absolute that Claire becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire—and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.

So I do actually have this on my kindle, but it just occured to me that I really want it as an actual book. Maybe I'll get the book before even reading it, maybe I won't get it until after, but want it no matter what.
