A Wrinkle in Time holds the same meaning for me as Lord of the Rings does for my husband and others. LotR wasn't out in America when I first read AWiT, I think. I read Hobbit in 7th grade and LotR in high school after a friend, straight off the boat from Ireland, pushed it at me.
As a child, I adored L'Engle and read everything my local library had. It wasn't until I was an adult that I found she had written sequels to AWiT. I don't think they were out when I was a kid, and they never had the same power for me. Still, I enjoyed her mundane tales of the Austin family which were in my local library.
I'm so happy she was able to be Mythcon GOH in DC. calimac and I had just gotten married, so it was a pretty special Mythcon all around as far as I was concerned. (This was 1994. Even then, she was pretty frail and not up to much evening activity.)
Have you ever read Walking on Water by her? It's really wonderful, and I highly recommend it to anyone with any ounce of creativity in them. I've only read A Wrinkle in Time once, and I've "planned on" reading the rest of her books...eventually. I just haven't gotten around to it yet. But definitely read Walking on Water. You will not be disappointed.
