You gave me my first 'ship (I think), you taught me about mitochondria, you taught me that cherubim aren't baby pigs, you taught me Welsh, you made me want to have a double PhD, you gave me Calvin O'Keefe and Adam Eddington, you taught me about quantum physics (and unicorns), you enabled my dolphin obsession, you made me want to go to Antarctica. All at the age of eight and on.
Yes! Those books are a fundamental part of who I am, and that's something you never lose.

I know. I knew she was terribly old and it would happen soon, but I love her so much.
I read the Wrinkle in Time series when I was very little -- and then when I was about thirteen, I read A Ring of Endless Light, and it remains one of my favorite books. There's something about it that I always just find so comforting, especially when I'm feeling down or something bad has happened. (Vicky and Adam! Oh, I love Adam Eddington.)
A Swiftly Tilting Planet I read later than others, but it's also one of my favorites. I think I like it more than the first ones. And did you read Many Waters? That made me cry so hard. And even though I'm not religious at all, it started my love for the Song of Songs/Song of Solomon.
