My day 1: As a kid, A Wrinkle in Time felt more grown up in its approach to multi-world fantasy books, it felt …scientific.

Day 2: Both my parents loved this book. I was raised very much within the framework of one of his ideas: that we must "follow our bliss" and passionately engage in doing what we love and the rest of life will flow from that.

Day 14: This was one of my first post-apocalyptic read, and I was fascinated by the idea that one brilliant scientist could destroy (and save?) the world in one go. Almost an environmental science fight club.

Day 3: I actually don’t know why I love Mansfield Park so much. Jane Austin is a favorite but Fanny is almost priggish. I think I love her powers of observation and moral compass.

I read this in a class on colonial & post-colonial literature to mark a line between stories of colonial superiority and stories by indigenous people. It offers a nuanced critique of colonialism from a British writer.
