This is what I’m reading at the moment. Here are some random thoughts on chapter one…

Twin boys, Dennys and Sandy, live an interesting life. Their mother and father are scientists with experiments-in-progress going on all over the house. “Mother’s sub-atomic experiments” are a topic for discussion while eating dinner. It reminds me of Joe’s family gatherings where talk frequently turns to physics, time travel, etc. Stuff beyond me. I’m a humanities girl. So L’Engle’s stories are a nice stretch for me (I read A Wind in the Door last year which has the same characters in it. This truly is science fiction.)

The dialogue about riding the unicorn had me laughing out loud.

According to Bookslut, one of the girlhood classics has been modernized for today’s reader. Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret by Judy Blume is one of those books that made so much sense because you were dealing with the same issues that had Margaret so confused. Follow the link for a good discussion on the subject.

This cookbook sounds inviting – and that’s based on the title. Cheap, Fast and Good! by Beverly Mills and Alicia Ross. I’m a great fan of quick, tasty recipes for the kitchen. It’s even better if it’s inexpensive. I’ll have to “taste test” it.
