Always Coming Home
Last night I finished the last of Le Guin's Hainish novels collected in the two-volume Library of America anthology, The Telling. After Left Hand of Darkness and Five Ways to Forgiveness I think it is my third favorite. Those were the three Hainish novels that made me cry, that may have something to do with it. Of course, I have less time for pleasure reading during summer intensive teaching time, and so I expect I will be reading the Le Guin novel next up, Always Coming Home, for quite a while to come. It may well take me to the year's end to read everything she wrote (a task I began a few weeks before her death firmed my conviction that reading everything she wrote was just a great idea).

Wot? No _The Dispossessed_? ;->
I know! I appreciate it intellectually, I enjoyed the writing, of course, but somehow it doesn't quite move me as much. Dare I admit I even enjoyed _Rocannon's World_ more? I'll allow _The Dispossesed_ is my fifth favorite Hainish novel tho'.
