Far too early.
Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Now is definitely when we need her.
Someone wrap Margaret Atwood in bubble wrap.
Ursula K Leguin tribute, by Margaret Atwood.
Oh man. I feel like she had so much left to say.
So much this.
I'm reading A Wrinkle in Time and loving it. I thought I read it as a kid -- I remember the opening, with the storm, and Meg's general broodiness -- but the rest seems completely new.
I should do that. I know I read the whole series but I remember so very little, other than liking it.
I keep seeing people say that! I'm sure I've reread it within the last...ten years at least, but even if I hadn't, I have a vivid memory of sitting on a particular chair in the living room of my parents' house, creeped the hell out by the kids all bouncing the balls identically, and the big pulsing brain of IT.
I know I've read the whole series, but Wrinkle is the only one I really remember.
I reread A Wrinkle in Time almost every year. I have most of Madeleine L'Engle's books, fiction and nonfiction, and both YA fiction and...what do we call it? Non-YA fiction? Fiction for people old enough to drink? Just...fiction?
I think her dialogue tends toward the ridiculous at times (do people REALLY talk that way???), but in general she's one of my favorite authors.
I am SO excited for the movie. I cried the first time I saw the trailer in a theater.
I love Wrinkle in Time. One of the ways I call asleep is to imagine being snuggled by Aunt Beast.
