TESSERING IS CREEPY

Just finished reading A Wrinkle in Time for Lana's book-discussion group this week.

The overarching theme of the dangers of conformity was nice. The anti-Communist rhetoric it was shot through on was anthropologically interesting, ideologically yucky, and artistically grating.

I'm most grateful to the book for the introduction to the phrase "bark my shins."

Sweet Natalie Portman as Sam, what a wonderful turn of words that is! Can't believe I never encountered it before...
