NEWS: RIP Madeline L'Engle

(opps. posted in wrong section)

The scene where a row of completely identical boys bounce identical balls in front of identical houses, is so eerie... it really translates ideas of anti conformity into the language of youth. Even years after I read it the scene still is such a strong image, I know exactly what those houses look like... great writing.

I heard about this yesterday. It's very saddening. Her books are still some of the few books from my childhood that I proudly display on my bookshelf even now. She was an amazing writer, and the world is a better place with her literature in it.

Huh, I would have guessed she died years ago.
A Wrinkle in Time was one of my favorites when I was young.

That was actually the third full novel in the Austin series -- which started with Meet the Austins, followed by The Moon by Night...

My first sci fi

This was one of the only "children's" books I actually enjoyed as a child. I think I'm long overdue to re-read it as an adult for a fresh, new perspective; I'll have to put it next on my reading list to honor her.

oh noo

So many authors passing lately. Life sucks.

God damn it.

bummer.

I loved A Wrinkle In Time, I should check out her other books. xx

I loved the Time series so much when I was a kid.

Reading her books when I was a kid had me dream and believe in magic. She will be missed.

I first read the book in the sixth grade and yet the other day tried my best to recall the actual story. I've been meaning to get a copy of the book for myself (the one back then was a school copy). It saddens me it takes this to remind me to do so.


Here's hoping your traveling the tesseract
