GOT A QUESTION

I've been looking for a book that I read many years ago. I don't

know the author and I don't know the title. I'm not all together

sure even WHEN the book was new. (80's? 90's? I don't know).

All I *do* know is the plot of the thing:

A man is sitting at his desk and he gets a heart attack. But instead

of dying, he wakes up -- except he's now back in his body when he

was 17 years old. He still remembers EVERYTHING about his previous

life, he just went back in time. He gets to live his life all over

again -- and does so. Until he reaches the date where he originally

"died". And he goes back AGAIN. And again. And again.

He places an ad in a national magazine / newspaper on one of his

journeys back saying, "If you've ever heard of ET, Chappaquidick,

Neil Armstrong, blah blah blah, write me". He discovers another

woman who's ALSO going thru this.

They get together and realize that tho they're going back in time

with every "death" they not going as FAR back in time as they did.

So, for instance, instead of the guy going back to his body as a

17 year old, he's now going back to when he was a 25 year old.

The whole thing is in a contemporary setting. It's not "space

invaders" and "aliens" or any other typical science fiction story.

If you can shed some light on this, I'd love to find the book again.

Can anybody help me with this???

Tim;

Replay, by Ken Grimwood, is the book that you are referring to.
