So, one month into my year long experiment I'm ahead of the curve. In four weeks I have finished eight books! I'm really enjoying it. Taking in the thoughts and adventures of others is stretching and awaking my mind in so many ways. It's good to be blogging again regularly. It's a relief to feel like the the rusty cogs of my brain are getting a good oiling... sentences and musing are flowing freely as my fingers fly across my keyboard. Apparently Stephen King says that if you want to be a writer, you must be a reader. I have many worlds I've grown up imagining and developing and one day I hope to be somewhere near competent enough to capture them on paper. Even if they're just for my children.
So, on to book nine! A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle was a gift from a dear friend. When I listed it in my potential 52 for the year it got some comment and seems to be greatly loved by many. How had I never read it before? As I read through this pre-moon landing science fiction adventure I was taken back to CS Lewis's Out of the Silent Planet. There was a similar feeling of exploration, not just within our solar system but in ourselves. By the end of the book I was hoping it wouldn't end and keen to know more about L'Engle's world. Thankfully above mentioned friend also gave me the second book in the series so I may have to break it out soon.
