Madeleine L'Engle, four years ago.
Brian Jacques, this year.
And now Diana Wynne Jones, today.
Though each touches me differently as a formation of literary taste, it's disconcerting.
About Me

- If you actually want to read my blog, it's at http://ibmiller.livejournal.com. This is really just my profile I use for commenting on blogger. Annotated Quotes: "Justice is about harmony. Revenge is about you making yourself feel better." Batman Begins. One of the few films/books which have actually changed/shaped the way I thought. This quotation gives voice to the discomfort I've always had with revenge stories. ANGEL (bitterly) "Am I a thing worth saving? Am I a righteous man? The world wants me gone." Joss Whedon, Amends. Whedon is one of the most God-haunted agnostics I've ever read/watched. In addition to his brilliant writing, his work often (not always, unfortunately, but often) deals with intense moral issues like redemption, atonement, and the masterful way he handles them often profoundly moves me. "We read to know we're not alone. Some might say, we love to know we're not alone." William Nicholson, Shadowlands. Oh, and I'm male.
