A Wrinkle In Time
This book was always a child hood favorite of mine. The images of the different worlds, aliens and the wonderful Mrs. Whatsit are always a thrill. Biblical injection tends to annoy me more now as most of the inclusion is entirely inappropriate for the time it is used, but is excusable none the less. Even though I am not religious, I still recommend this book to be read to children in only a way a parent could. It's a great 'Bonding' book. Some of the tracks skip a bit, but only for a sentence or two. It's not really that inconvenient.

The Six Degrees features examine the relationships between classic works and five other books we've deemed related in some way. In some cases these connections are obvious, in others… more »
Classic Teen Reads

It's hard to believe, in this age of Twilight, The Hunger Games and a million imitations thereof, that books for teen readers haven't always been so plentiful. Though coming-of-age stories and novels told from an adolescent point of view have been written and published throughout the history of modern literature, it wasn't until the 1950s and '60s that teens were considered an important demographic for booksellers. And it wasn't until the 1970s and '80s that… more »
