Jackie, if you had been in my class Mrs. Stroh probably would have just made-do with an octagon.

How many of us have encountered the word tesseract since we read Wrinkle anyway? I immediately know who read and loved that book from this exchange! Did anyone read the sequels? I never knew they existed until recently, are they worth reading? I'll look it up here on GoodReads.What a site!
Ha ha ha ha hah ha... Donna, I love you! I'm on the fourth planet circling Betelgeuse, by the way... Help me, Mrs. Which!
I love that the "I Hate Men" thread has turned into this. If I could hug GoodReads I would.
Thanks Donna! I do trust your recommendation.
Good stuff, Donna. I like the ones with Meg the best, the first two: Wrinkle and Wind.Many Waters gets into some weird Biblical territory.
Many Waters is a bit too religious for my tastes (now), though when I read it in 9th grade I LOVED it. I think Swiftly Tilting Planet was my favorite--Meg is all grown up! (That's not a spoiler, I promise--you find out she's an adult in like the first three seconds...)
Oops, I forgot to read page 5 before I posted Message 87. What I meant was, "Yeah! What they said!"
**puts Lori's head down by her knees, rubs her back soothingly**
Whoa! Holy shit! And those are good too?
I was very surprised at some of the content of A House Like a Lotus. They are all good, but my favorite will always be A Wrinkle in Time.The first line is "It was a dark and stormy night"!
Even though we're talking about L'Engle, I'm still thinking about naked men. I just can't help myself.I has been well over a decade, perhaps two, since I've read the Meg series. Do you all recommend that I go back and read those before I do her kids' series?
I went and got a CD of Holst's The Planets because of the Austins. Aren't they always listening to classical music in that series?My copy of Wrinkle (cover illus. by the Dillons) has a chart in the end pages that shows the overlap of the book series. The Murray-O'Keefe books are Kairos, and the Austin books are Chronos, and then on the other page is a list of the characters who are in both series. It's very helpful.
Ah. Now I know why I never read any of these others. The earliest were published when I was already in high school and was busy with "adult" stuff! Altho I did read one of her books about starfish when it came out in the 60s, and liked it very much.
I hate all men except for myself. Women, I absolutely adore...
