Pastor Katy loves reading Science Fiction and Fantasy, theater, arts and crafts, music, playing with children and sunshine, and continues to try to be as (w)holistically Christian as possible. "Publisher after publisher turned down A Wrinkle in Time," L'Engle wrote, "because it deals overtly with the problem of evil, and it was too difficult for children, and was it a children's or an adult's book, anyhow?" The next year it won the prestigious John Newbery Medal. Tolkien states in the foreword to The Lord of the Rings that he disliked allegories and that the story was not one.[66] Instead he preferred what he termed "applicability", the freedom of the reader to interpret the work in the light of his or her own life and times.

I’m trying to get over my hated of Whedon. I appreciate that he does write strong female characters (though I think it’s more nuanced than that) and that he is way more feminist than other tv writers, but I just hate Buffy so much!
I’m not a Buffy person either–but hey who can go wrong with Dr. Horrible and Firefly? (Although Dr. Horrible does not feature a strong woman character, but that’s the whole point)….I didn’t even realize Buffy was by Joss Whedon until late in my undergrad…most of Whedon’s stuff gets cancelled because its not very mainstream, Buffy didn’t–so there you go…:) Have you tried anything else by him?
