Madeleine L'Engle?

That was one of my favourite books growing up...was probably in 6th grade when I read it first, and fell in love with it. Great fantasy adventure, a lots of really cool ideas and concepts.

Not sure if I'd still like it as much today or not, but I hope you enjoy it!

There's a film version as well...never bothered with it as I'm sure it couldn't live up to the book.

Yes that's the author's name. I've had it forever, I'm 21 and my brother read it in school and he's 32 lol, but I still want to read it. I didn't know there was a movie but it as you said prolly won't be any good

Imajica is a great read too. I love his writing, his word usage and the rythym he uses, he could copy a phone book and make it interesting.

Apparently, you haven't read Mr. B. Gone. I agree about Imajica, but his last few years of output have been kind of so-so.

LOL...well, I can't quit Shelfari....its one of my online addictions...:p But I have a few Yahoo groups I am a member of also that just have to go, I always try to keep up and I can't anymore.

So far, not sure what all the fuss is about on Dark Lover, but its entertaining enough trash. Ward did actually seem to put a little more thought into her vampire world than most of the paranormal romance writers I have read though. As much as I like urban fantasy (which is not all that different really, I suppose) you would think I would enjoy it more.
