wrinkles

Sometimes you just are not the same person that you previously were once you have finished reading a book.

The old, dusty copy of A Wrinkle in Time from my elementary school library was one of those books for me. It might as well have been a tessrract rather than just just being about them; I have little recollection of there being a me before I stepped through it.

Thank you, Madeleine.

Heh, kind of ironically I noticed my "Winkle" in the email I received due to your response, before I read you pointing it out. If you have not read it, do so. It's an amazing book.

I first read A Wrinkle in Time when I was 6 or 7. Definitely a major influence on me.

To say the book affected me would be so understating what was. I was Meg, and where she tessered, there was I. I think the way you put it was perfect. "It might as well have been a tessrract rather than just just being about them".

Yes.

I always loved those books when I was a kid. About 5 years ago, I asked for the set of them for Christmas and my mother obliged. They held up well as I still enjoy reading them. I've always somewhat identified with Meg and wished something so fantastic could happen to me.

I might have to dig them out and read them yet again. =)
