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.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I should do that. I know I read the whole series but I remember so very little, other than liking it.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
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.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I know I've read the whole series, but Wrinkle is the only one I really remember.

That which does not kill you should RUN
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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I love Wrinkle in Time. One of the ways I call asleep is to imagine being snuggled by Aunt Beast.

NEW LESTAT NOVEL IN OCTOBER! I don't care how cracky. I don't care how insane Anne Rice is. I will read it.

Okay, my lovely buffistas, have any of you read Eliza and her Monsters?
Man, does the author get fandom right. It was fantastically fun to read.
