Aw, damn it…

'Wrinkle in Time' author L'Engle dies:

HARTFORD, Conn. -- Author Madeleine L'Engle, whose novel 'A Wrinkle in Time' has been enjoyed by generations of schoolchildren and adults since the 1960s, has died, her publicist said Friday. She was 88.

A Wrinkle in Time was one of the first books I read and loved that didn't have pictures, and thinking of the Murray family helped keep me sane all through an awkward childhood. So, I'm a little bit sadder about this than I thought I would be.

Tesseract, tesseract, tesseract. Just say it a couple times, out loud. It's a great and beautiful word.
