Saddest February of my life - mirroring that I did not finish a single book!! Read the one because I adore the [more recent, as I do know now] books of Ursula K. LeGuin. Read quite some and finally wanted to dive into the #Hainish Cycle, she didn't like to call it that btw, this would be no 1 - but I just can't.

She herself later in her life said that she wrote like men in the beginning, bc she didn't know it better then - and I agree. A boring male writers' writing.

Dear readers and fans of K. Le Guin: do you know if there's a collection for the "Hainish Cycle", somewhat similar to what "The Books of Earthsea: The Complete Illustrated Edition" is for Earthsea? Cheers!

Andei décadas a evitar ler #UrsulaKLeGuin .
Sabia que mais cedo ao mais tarde iria ler os #Despojados, e depois de o ter feito no ano passado... este ano volto ao ciclo #Hainish.

My review of 'Four Ways to Forgiveness' (1995) by @UrsulaKLeGuin, novellas set in her #Hainish universe, for #LoveHain #SciFiMonth and #NovNov

I have long felt that the Ewoks of Star Wars were possibly based on the Athsheans of “The Word for World is Forest.” I have no proof but there are some strong similarities.
