A Wrinkle in Time author dies

Children's author Madeline L'Engle dies

I'm betting nobody else cares, but I adored her books as a child. She was an Episcopal nun at one point, and the crazy church in my school district tried to ban her books for promoting witchcraft, although the characters they were calling witches were actually angels. One just happened to be named "Mrs. Which."

 

I'm a confirmed Episcopalian, and honest to God I didn't know we had nuns.

 

You do, but they get married and don't live in convents. I grew up one Episcopal

 

I'm unmarried, but I don't live in a convent.
Does that mean I've been an Epsicopal nun for 30-plus years and didn't know it?

 

hahahaha. I so phrased that wrong!

 

That book scared the hell out of me, and still does. I have no idea why children are directed to read that. I still don't understand the concept of the tesseract, or why the parents didn't hold onto those kids.

But RIP anyway.

 

Ever feel like whacking someone with a ruler? You could be a nun!

 

Heaven must have needed an Episcopalian nun turned author.

 

Well, we've got an RIP and a heaven must have needed. Time to lock the thread. It's over.

 

still needs a catjack

 

I hate most science fiction, but I remember really liking that book when I was a kid...

RIP

 

Eh, somebody else will have to do that one. This is a serious thread.
