I've read 10 out of this #HumbleBundle of up to 30 books by #UrsulaKLeGuin, but the bundle is still mostly new-to-me and even the ones I've read are opportunities for re-reads, ownership, or reading in the original language/format so it's more than worth it to me! https://www.humblebundle.com/books/wizard-earthsea-and-more-ursula-k-le-guin-books
(Of course, #Kobo books are not truly owned but I've already #DRM-stripped the books and added them to my epub library.)

»Glaubst du das?«
»Ich habe immer daran geglaubt.« »Glaubst du es jetzt noch?«
Sie antwortete nicht.
Ich liebe den 2 Teil der #Erdsee Reihe, Die Gräber von Atuan, fast noch mehr als den ersten Teil.
Arhas Entwicklung und Erkenntnis und dann noch Geds ruhige, gereifte Art. Ganz großes Kino! 😍

Depressing that "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" is more relevant every year. Ursula K Le Guin couldn’t have been more prescient. #books #ursulakleguin
Hoy cumpliría años la genia: Ursula K. Le Guin.
Va mi homenaje, desde una de las emisiones del podcast El ficcionador, dedicado a ella.
...
Ursula Kroeber Le Guin, la genial autora de ciencia ficción (feminista de la primera hora), poesía, ensayo, literatura infantil y traductora de, entre otros, el Tao Te Ching y una selección de poemas de Gabriela Mistral, pasó por El ficcionador. Lo hizo con sus ideas y sus palabras porque, como ella misma escribió, «leer es una manera de escuchar».

Gestern erst entdeckt: ganz putzeliges und kurzweiliges und kluges Gespräch von Carina Zacharia von Bücherwelten mit Hannes Riffel über den #CarcosaVerlag, Genre, Vorurteile, Übersetzung, Buchgestaltung mit BensWerk und Hardy Kettlitz, Niveau und Pfade abseits des Gewöhnlichen, Nischenverlagsszene, #UrsulaKLeGuin, #BeckyChambers, #AlanMoore, #SamuelRDelany, #PhantastischeWeltliteratur und und und.
I can't find the words to praiseThe Winds twelve quarters & the compass rose, which contains the first two major short story collections of Ursula K. Le Guin's career. When I read Le Guin I always feel a combination of striking novelty and absolute familiarity. So beautiful.

Creía #UrsulaKLeGuin en la #lectura como un medio para adquirir criterio propio, para parar “la corriente incesante, incoherente, confusa y chillona de los medios de comunicación”.
Ella es Nuestra #AutoraSumergida de Hoy.

"Todos tenemos que aprender a inventarnos una vida, crearla, imaginarla. Necesitamos que nos enseñen esas capacidades(...)Si no lo hacemos nuestras vidas acaban siendo controladas por los demás”

Need a bit of a break. Gonna start listening to Le Guin's "The Word for World is Forest". I've only completed one book in the Hamish cycle, but it was very impressive, and I've heard that this one and "The Left Hand of Darkness", are both also really good.
Trivia: "The Word for World is Forest" is the inspiration behind the "Avatar" blockbuster movies.
Revisiting this great collection by Ursula Le Guin. Her thoughts on human connection (from "American SF and the Other", 1975) are as timely as ever
