Hay. I was just Wiki-surfing amidst the deadlines. Then, I found out:
She died at the age of 88 of natural causes last September 6, 2007.
Madeleine L'Engle
1918-2007
Sigh. I couldn't believe it. But it has happened. It was only last year when we took up A Wrinkle in Time. Makes me wish I talked about Many Waters as my oral test piece and ORR. If only I wasn't chosen as the 7th speaker, I could've made a last minute change.
I loved her Time Quintet. I really enjoyed them.
I can still remember the day Sean told me about them. I tried the book myself and got amazed. Soon, I finished the three books available at the library. Hahaha. I still remember reading Swiftly while at a family picnic at Tagaytay.
And then CJ gave me Many Waters as a birthday gift.
Those are my two faves. A Swiftly Tilting Planet and Many Waters.
And then last year, we took Wrinkle up for the second quarter.
Hayz. And then I got the last book from the Time Quintet for Christmas. An Acceptable Time. I plan to read it this sem break (together with Lemony Snicket's 13th:The End and Eats, Shoots and Leaves--yeah the punctuation book. LOL)
How sad.
Anyhow, I plan to re-read Swiftly and Many Waters once I'm done with my last books.
Rest in Peace. Your spirit lives on in all your books and in the heart of all its readers--including me.
