I'm trying to remember what other of her adult stuff I read (something with a classical pianist protagonist?) but OSOtS eclipses (NPI) them all. It was so HEAVY.

Sorta like reading most of Steinbeck, but the one that stuck with me was To a God Unknown one of his lesser mentioned works, but one that grabbed me the way the classics didn't. Cause for all the Steinbeck had some disturbing stuff, that one had so much more spirituality and confusion and ooph.

Trust my rage

I love the L'Engle book about the dictator in Venezuela and Meg and Charles change history through kything. (I should look up the title, I guess.) I also loved all the Austin stories. Oh, and Many Waters. Oh, and House Like a Lotus. I should re read her stories.

A Swiftly Tilting Planet.

I love that you can't remember the book name, but you remember the term "kything."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ooh, maybe after I'm done with my current Tolkien run I'll go on a L'Engle binge.

I have no brandy in the house. Do we think rum or bourbon for the eggnog loaf cake glaze?

Was Many Waters the one with Sandy and Dennis going back to Biblical times?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Do we think rum or bourbon for the eggnog loaf cake glaze?

Either would be tasty. Rum probably moreso.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Was Many Waters the one with Sandy and Dennis going back to Biblical times?

Yes.

Yes. Which I recall as being kind of weird, but I haven't read it in ages. Or I haven't read it in ages, because it's weird.

Rum.

I woke up the baby cat (aka Pumpkin aka Little Girl) by accident and she woke with the most indelicate snort. She's a hoot.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I think the classical pianist was called "fingers".
