A Wrinkle In Time
Posted at 8:49 +1000
There's going to be a lot of sites remembering Madeleine L'Engle today, after she passed away on Thursday (US time).
Like so many people, I read A Wrinkle In Time as a 10 or 11 year old and it had a fairly large impact. I can clearly picture sitting in my sixth grade classroom on a rainy lunchtime, reading it and thinking about the maths. This was probably the first science fiction book I read. When it was assigned reading in high school English class (year 8), I had some novelty value amongst my peers because I could draw a four dimensional cube and roughly explain why it was "correct".
Other memories: John Scalzi, Scott Westerfeld
