Day 243 -- Reading a children's classic

In December, I read a book by Madelaine L'Engle which was just a memoir type book written years ago before she died.  I loved her writing style and so immediately ordered her most famous book and Newberry Award winner, A Wrinkle in Time because I had never read it.  I have a bad habit of kind of turning my nose up to young adult literature, but today I started reading it and having a hard time putting it down.  It is a beautiful metaphor of life--good and evil--spun as a type of 1960s (written in 1962) sci-fi.  I am planning on reading it aloud to my grandchildren so we can talk about it as we read.  It is coming out as a movie this year, and I want them to hear it before seeing it.  I should be more open this year to unusual books (for me) to read.  I've missed a lot but then as the saying goes--so many books, so little time!
