I wandered around Amazon for a little bit. Bought Beyond the Quantum and decided that Judith Viorst is one of my favorite authors. Just because the first thing she remembers writing was when she was 6 or 7 years old and wrote a poem - an ode to her dead parents.

Who were very much alive at the time, and a little annoyed.

I'm going to buy several of her books now - and read them wishing I were so clever.
