Status Updates From The Unreal and the Real Vol...

“unlocked the air” was wonderful

Reading such a varied collection of stories has been incredibly interesting, and a great chance to expose myself to genres I am not normally drawn to. There are definitely some that I enjoy a lot more than others, especially the `Weird Americana` ones. Some of the Orsinian Tales are excellent, and a few have fallen short completey. Taking a break to read another novel before returning to complete this volume.

I was going to update after each story but I got sucked in. Only the sentient, philosophical oak tree could pull me out

classic le guin turn from "i'm not sure what's going on" to "why did ursula write this to cause me, personally, pain and agony"
