Not too long ago, I posted about my favorite genre of books & some friends I’ve found therein. I got some wonderful suggestions via comments, and have already enjoyed Steinbeck & Walls, as well as recently beginning Walking on Water by Madeleine L’Engle- a suggestion from a well-read friend of ours, Hillary. L’engle is best known for her work with children’s fiction including A Wrinkle in Time. I do intend on tackling all of the “commentor’s suggested reading list”- these merely represent the ones I have located. For some reason, I don’t order things often; I like to find them. The harder to locate, the greater the reward. So I have scoured new & used bookstores in NWA, Dallas & Houston looking for the list and found great delight upon another off the list.
A little over half way in, I have thoroughly enjoyed her notes on the creative process. Here’s an interview clip of her that gives you a taste for refreshing perspective & voice.

If I could have this woman’s wisdom for just 2 minutes before I die, I would be content.
