    But a week is just a wrinkle in time. Isn’t it?

    It’s even worse when I have read a book and have to wait for my husband to read it, before I can say anything about it.

    Kid has had a revelation. A book that opened his/her eyes to the unexpected. It may fade for a time but then be recalled with great affection. Saw it happen many times.

    I read a comic book version (“graphic novel” as the hip kids say. In this case it’s actually a novel, not a memoir like Raina Telgemaier’s stuff) of it one summer. The best part of a day-camp held in a school building is all the reading material when you don’t want to play sports. I mean, the best part of a day-camp is that you go home, of course, but while you’re there you can read. Until the principal started working there during the summer and telling the teachers to hide the books from us grubby campers (I assume that’s what happened. Either that or they discovered there were good books there and destroyed them. I don’t like that school, though I didn’t go there and don’t have first-hand experience.)

    I enjoyed “a wrinkle in time“ so much as a kid that I read it two more times as an adult. And I paraphrased it for my daughter when she was little so she would be interested in reading it.

    A teacher read it to my class in elementary school. I had trouble following; it mostly struck me as weird. Only in adulthood did I get the gumption to read it.

    Go read the other four. That will take up a night each. Then my friends’ son was born and there was a problem with his mitochondria. Sadly he did not make it. But friends and relations spent time with him, his entire life, holding him and loving him. I don’t know how many of us had ever read A Wind in the Door, but I was definitely affected by bumping into the “mitochondria not dancing”, in real life.

    New word to peak my curiosity. I always enjoy finding a new word that I have never seen before
