"Madeleine L'Engle wrote children's books that were too complicated for grown-ups. I'll miss her."
That's how Lauren Snyder opens her obit for writer Madeleine L'Engle on Salon. And she's right. L'Engle's works sitting on my bookshelf back in our Antipolo home are not comparable to Harry Potter. L'Engle knew kids like me. Growing up, I was Meg Murry.
So instead of reading a banned book, I'll have an irreverent send-off. L'Engle would be proud.
