"Our daily life [...] was repetitive. On the ship, later, I learned that people who live in artificially complicated situations call such a life 'simple.' I never knew anybody, anywhere I have been, who found life simple. I think a life or a time looks simple when you leave out the details, the way a planet looks smooth from orbit." (from "Solitude")
Le Guin is Le Guin-ing, and I love it.

Highlights so far:
"The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas"
I'd heard so much about this one, and been wanting to read it. Lived up to my hopes. A thought-provoking tale about a scapegoat, reminiscent of a bit from Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov.
"Nine Lives"
Felt like a very typical Le Guin story (in a good way). 'We're each of us alone, to be sure. What can you do but hold your hand out in the dark?'
