I should clarify maybe. I’ve skipped ahead to Left Hand because I’ve already read the first 3. The Tor Essentials collection of them was part of the first year of my dork book club.

Ursula K. Le Guin’s Planet of the Enbys.

“Methodical cosmos-makers make plans and charts and maps and timelines early in the whole process. I failed to do this. Any timeline for the books would resemble the web of a spider on LSD.(…) If, as some think, God is no longer speaking, maybe it’s because he looked at what he’d made and found himself unable to believe it.”

God, have I missed you, Ursula.
