Le Guin weaves again her storytelling magic! I was hooked on the story's charcters from the first page. It felt good to have female charcters take the front-and-center roles of this continuation of the Earthsea saga. Of course, the writing grabbed me ...more |

Delightful prequel to the Narnia tales! A thoroughly enjoyable read! Though this prequel to the Narnia tales was obviously aimed at a middle-grade readership, I found it truly such fun and with that refreshingly wholesome humor that C. S. Lewis is kno ...more |

Well, I wrote this book so, of course, I loved it! Gripping tale of the protagonist's (and all those who come to know her and love her) courage to hold true to her own sense of what is true no matter what she has been "taught" by her culture or what ...more |

“You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.”

“I do not understand the mystery of grace -- only that it meets us where we are and does not leave us where it found us.”

“Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people. It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life, and it is the main obstacle between you and a shitty first draft. I think perfectionism is based on the obsessive belief that if you run carefully enough, hitting each stepping-stone just right, you won't have to die. The truth is that you will die anyway and that a lot of people who aren't even looking at their feet are going to do a whole lot better than you, and have a lot more fun while they're doing it.”

“Lighthouses don’t go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shining.”

“Writing and reading decrease our sense of isolation. They deepen and widen and expand our sense of life: they feed the soul. When writers make us shake our heads with the exactness of their prose and their truths, and even make us laugh about ourselves or life, our buoyancy is restored. We are given a shot at dancing with, or at least clapping along with, the absurdity of life, instead of being squashed by it over and over again. It's like singing on a boat during a terrible storm at sea. You can't stop the raging storm, but singing can change the hearts and spirits of the people who are together on that ship.”
