Stunned...
Wow. Madeleine L'Engle died today. She was 88. Talk about another piece of my childhood gone! I think A Wrinkle In Time was the first science fiction book I'd ever read. Well, actually, it was either that or Stowaway to the Moon. Still, that's rather stunning to me.
Of course, I didn't find out Marion Zimmer Bradley had died until two years AFTER she died! I was sitting there wondering, "So, is her next book going to be another Avalon book? Or a Darkover book? And will I want to read either one?" And being curious, I decided to Google her, and... whoa, no more Darkover, no more Avalon. Well, not by HER anyway.
*sigh*
Guess I'll go rifle through my bookshelves and see if I can find "Wrinkle" and read it. And sniffle a little.
Yeah, I know, I'm a sap. But y'all knew that already.
