Wow I was just at my parents house and was looking through the books I read as a kid. My daughter was with me and I was making suggestions. We found a wrinkle in time and a wind in the door.

Too bad loved those books.

Keep pounding, Johnson. Perhaps a framed 8x10 of your beloved St. Ronnie will help put you in the mood. I don't know what it is that you think you're "exercising," but it ain't your mind.

Hey guys this is about Madeleine L'Engle, not anybody else.

I really enjoyed Wrinkle In Time - it was an incredible story.

Be blessed, Madeleine.

I mentioned this book just a couple of weeks ago here on the DR. Somehow a thread wandered OT (imagine that!) and got on SF. I mentioned that "A Wrinkle in Time" was one of the first science fiction books I had ever read and got me started on my love of the genre.

On another note, I was telling my niece about this book about a year ago. She surprised me with a first edition copy of it for Christmas last year. (I collect old books)

To be honest, I had no idea Madeline L'Engle was still alive. But it is sad to hear of her departure. Perhaps she is like the ant in the story and stepped across a fold in the fabric.

"wrinkle" was the first of... I think it was a series of five books, but i don't remember specifically. I remember these books well.

I can only say, "bummer, man".
