Yesss, I just Le Guin pilled someone last week. Fingers crossed they read it. They asked me for a general book list and chose one of hers from it.

Same! I snuck up behind and choke-holded them with Wizard until they passed out from Ged overdose, and then I crammed Atuan into each and every orifice before I left them for dead.

I can't wait to have a new book bestie!

While I recognize the humor, I wish I had a book bestie.

The ones who walk away from Omelas is one of my favorite stories. Powerful metaphor, that.

God she was an epic baller of a person too. An amazing personal story and she herself was a deep well of insight and compassionate wisdom. It comes through in most everything she wrote or said.

Its currently sitting in my library app, but I'm bracing myself because of how hard the left hand if darkness broke me

I read that story like 20 years ago and I still think about it all the time.

i don't know if it was intentional, but one of Expedition 33's endings gave me vibes of that story

I am going through her catalogue. Whatever is available at our library. So far I liked them all. Least of all Lavinia, that started off quite weak but also got better, but out of all the strong books it was the one at the bottom so far.
