The Time Traveler's Wife ~ pages 410 - 500
First off, did anybody see the Gomez/Clare thing coming? I suspected all along that Gomez was in love with Clare but it never occurred to me that they had slept together. I was shocked when i read about it. How did you feel about it? Should Clare have waited for Henry?
Henry gives the Doctor a sample of Albas DNA behind Clare's back. Do you think he was right not to consult her?
Henry losses his legs after being stuck in a parking garage on a severely cold day. He can no longer run therefore he can not survive very much longer. Even though Henry is a strong person i think this is too much for him to handle. What do you predict will happen when he time travels and is unable to move?
Ingrid's suicide was by far the saddest part of the story thus far. Henry now has emotional pain to deal with along with the psychical pain of losing his feet. Although Henry could do nothing to stop it from happening and it was always apparent that Ingrid suffered from severe depression, do you think Henry is to blame for the suicide?
Any predictions on how the book will end?

It was obvious that Gomez was in love with Clare, but I was surprised by the sexual past too. Should Clare have waited? That seems like a ridiculous question. Clare should have taken control of her own sexuality and made her own decision.
Ingrid’s suicide may have been the most surprising part of the entire book for me. I was very heavy and I was surprised that it wasn’t discussed more afterwards.

I don't think it was necessarily wrong to have taken Alba to have her blood drawn, but it was VERY wrong to ask Alba to lie to her mother.
When he lost his feet, it was very shocking. He has known for years that he would die when Alba was five years old, but now he will have to live in constant fear of time traveling, knowing that he is essentially helpless.
I really didn't think Ingrid's suicide was sad. He was not responsible for her demise. She was resolved to a failed life or no life at all (evidenced by her argument with him about where her life would take her in the future). She had threatened and attempted suicide many times previously, and at a certain point, it is no longer her friends' responsibility to seek help for her. It's a shame she did not seek help for herself.
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!
