Paul introduced me to this movie a few months ago and I loved it. I highly recommend it for those of you that haven't seen it.

Man that sucks. I read the book when I was a kid, and saw a really cool live play version in Seattle. I honestly never knew anything about the author, but I'm sad that she died. It was a good story.

That's terrible news! I read several L'Engle books, including A Wrinkle in Time and A Wind in the Door. They're very clever and I really enjoyed them, and only now that I read this article do I realize that Wrinkle was published in 1962--it seemed so fresh when I read it fifteen years ago or so.

I remember reading A Wrinkle in Time when I was younger, probably in middle school. I think I tried to get into one of the sequels too. I should read it over again sometime, it was brilliantly done.

Wow...
She's one of my most inspirational authors. A Wrinkle in Time has always been one of my favorite novels.
*sigh*

Heavily agreed. It was so surreal yet almost down to earth at the same time. I'll miss her continuing style. :-/

Dang, I loved that book. I have it signed by her in my room somewhere. Maybe this is a good opportunity to read it again.

Dude. That book was awesome when I read it as a kid. It remains that way to this day, too. This is sad indeed. :cry:

I can vaguely remember reading "Wrinkle in Time" when I was in grade school. I can't for the life of me remember what it was like. Still, it's a sad day to see a celebrated author pass on.
