9-2-11 Replay by Ken Grimwood - Fiction

5 - Thanks to Inez for recommending this one! What if you could live your life over again? And again. And again. Jeff Winston has a heart attack in his office at age 43 and wakes up 25 again in his college dorm room. He uses some of his future knowledge to make a lot of money and lives out this new life until he has a heart attack at 43. And wakes up a little bit older but still in college. And he does it again each time having a heart attack at 43 and each time waking up a little bit older but still replaying his life. Each time he makes different decisions and discovers along the way that he is not the only one living his life over again. He tries to make sense of the science of what is happening to him and fears where he will end up as he keeps coming back closer and closer to the time of his heart attack. This book picks up and goes and is enthralling.
