88 years is a long time to live I suppose. Still, to the big tesseract in the sky you go Madeleine L'Engle.

I've been meaning to re-read the Time Quartet for a while, and I think now might be a good time.

Really? Yeah, I had no idea, I guess, that she was that elderly . . . *blink, blink*

I don't think she died. I think she tessered. *nods definitively*

It's so easy to be immortal on the author jacket of your book :)

She's been about 40ish since I started reading...and that was...15+ years ago....but Wrinkle in Time was published in 1962 or some such.

Since I started reading her BOOKS I meant, not reading in general. I was much younger when I started reading overall. Deeer.

Such sad news... I just finished rereading the Time series about 2 months ago.

Most of the shock for me was that it just didn't seem like she could be that old. It's the forever-young-on-the-book-cover thing.

So very sad. I have such fond memories of those books. Reading and re-reading them. And now it's been such a long time since I have read them, it will be a treat to read them again.
