Chicago librarian Henry De Tamble suffers from a rare genetic disorder that causes him to drift uncontrollably back and forth through time.

let’s just set aside the whole aspect of a, ahem, genetic disorder that bends the space-time continuum just around one person, and focus on this guy’s job for a second. he’s a LIBRARIAN. isn’t that a pretty time sensitive job? so what happens when time travel is introduced to a librarian?

“sir your book is due… before it was published??”
“we cannot accept this boulder with your name etched in it as your library card.”
“the library will be closing in 10 minutes due to skynet becoming self-aware.”

I just read the the whole plot summary on the wiki entry. oh my god. I simply can’t link it here, I can’t let you read it. just don’t waste another second thinking about this book/movie and you’ll thank me (in the future).

8/31 UPDATE!
