I have to be honest, I didn't get through it. i suppose its because I don't like the main character. Not that it and/or he isn't well-written, but he annoyed me.

48908 Jeez, Nat, where do you find time to read so much? Yeah, he annoyed me too. Le Guin has a beautiful short story in one of her collections, about the woman behind the revolution that led to the world of the Dispossessed, which is one of my favorites (along with "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas...")

746524 cool,thanks, I'll look for it. And its not that I read so much, but that I read very quickly. One book takes me usually three days to a week and a half, depending. I have a weird reading style, I can take in a couple sentences at once but still understand the sequence, its strange. Also, I'm not a paid organizer anymore....:)

48908 Both stories are in "The Wind's Twelve Quarters." I reread them regularly for inspiration... I think "The Ones Who Walk Away" may be an abolitionist story.

746524 cool, I'll get it next time I'm at the library. I really recommend marge Piercy's Woman on the edge of time. Sami was the one who told me about it. great politics, lovely.

746524 thanks, Bri. I actually have the wind's Twelve Quarters from the library and just read The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas. I found it very interesting, and much too short. I am going to read the Day Before next.
