BUT I did read "A Wrinkle in Time"  in jr. high also.  It was on the Accelerated Reader list, and had it not been there, I probably would not have read it. I remember that although I thought it was a little strange, I enjoyed it. It opened another genre to my bookworm list of good reading. Ryan~ Glad I could make you smile. But oddly enough, it was true, lol. :D Suzanne~ Okay, so I don’t have 40+ years of sci-fi interest, since I’m about half that.

And Breann, I enjoyed that comment! 'I guess it WAS in the basement... I guess there WERE video games' :D I’m willing to place a substantial sum of money as to the fact that this president fellow has never read this ‘Wrinkle’ of which you speak…

I must be one of those weird females that has varied interests; I like romance novels and sci-fi (or rather SyFy, lol) Just the other day I watched one of the Sci-fi channel's newest movies. I have to laugh though, cuz it was in our basement, and one of my brothers was playing video games at the same time.....
