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.

If you like more political #scifi, I highly recommend the #Hainish Cycle written by the wonderful Ursuala K. #LeGuin.
Meine Erinnerung aus #3JahrePlotbunnyGames ist, dass ich über einem Exemplar von #vivalaqueerbar von einer bezaubernden Person angezaubert wurde, was in eine Unterhaltung über das #hainish -Universum mündete. Hach!

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.

First novel. Heh. That’s some shade considering Lessing lifted so much from Le Guin’s first novel. So, wish I had read these before Shikasta. (end) #haveread #SF #UKLG #LeGuin #Hainish

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.
