Ah I dunno, I was gonna throw on a blindfold and use the downtime in my evening shift to wail in swinging in the dark. Guess I'll just do work now.

Le Guin kicks sci fi arse. Left Hand of Darkness.
Katie, try Ali Smith? She'd put anyone in a good mood.
Two really lovely books I read recently, both by Japanese authors, might be worth considering too - The Travelling Cat Chronicles and The Housekeeper and The Professor. Both very charming and delicate, and dealing gently with delicate situations in their own way.Oh yes, not looking for a book about grief, more something that can facilitate feeling in a tender way!

Started My Year of Rest and Relaxation over the weekend. Oh boy.
I'm really enjoying it! It's great though sad, cruel, a bit shocking, but dammit I'm sort of caring about this character! It's very funny too. Did you read it / like it??Go on...

Ah ok; I seem to recall some discussion but I wasn't sure where. I'm not far off the end, but I'd love to be able to chat with others who've read it once I'm finished. There's a lot to "unpack" in it, shall we say.Yes, me and Katie were going back and forth disagreeing (nicely lol) about it a few pages back. I was team hate, she team love.
Cool. The Dispossessed is great and really gains thematic momentum as it goes along. The ideas stay with you. She's starkly original. Don't really see the similarity with Heinlein but I've also only read one book by him.@snakybus I started "The Dispossessed" by Ursula K. Le Guin a few days ago on audiobook. Strange kind of a book so far, reminds me a bit of the only Heinlein book I've read
