Madeleine L'Engle, author of the Wrinkle in Time series, died today at 88.

Those books made a big impression on me, when I was a kid. One of the first books I remember reading, thinking, hey, this would make a great movie.

Thanks for the memories.
 
Wow - "Wrinkle in Time"

You just took me back.
I hadn't thought of that series in a long time.

Like any artist - she'll live on through her work.
I just hope kids still pick those up.
 
Sad news. Wrinkle in Time was the first real book I remember reading...Was turned into a pretty lousy miniseries recently.
 
She will always be one of my favorite authors- May she rest in peace. The entire Wrinkle in Time series is simply incredible.
 
On Man !!!,
That was one of my first readings and said to myself. "This would make a great movie"!!!
I had no idea it was a series. I just found out there is a sequel to K-Pax also, for those in the loop.
 
I remember, between that book and Cosmos, trying to suss out a tesseract and imagine what it really looks like in 4-dimensional space.

I'm convinced that for a fleeting instant, I was able to do it, but it was only a flash, and I was never able to do it again. It was there and gone.
 
Because in the act of visualizing it, you burned out the neurons required to visualize it.

I dug Cosmos, too. Still have a signed copy of the text, up on the shelf.
