Thanks @thetravelingreader for tagging me in a 2018 reading review! I loved reading your answers! Here goes: . 1. Best book you’ve read this year? Top three are #TheSecretHistory by #DonnaTartt, #TheDispossessed by #UrsulaKLeGuin, and #ATalefortheTimeBeing by #RuthOzeki. I’m leaning toward’s Donna Tartt’s classic as my ultimate favourite of the year ?? . 2. New author you’ve read this year? Like 90% of them were new authors for me! Some of my faves were #MadelineMiller, #RachelCusk, #TanaFrench, and #AnnaKavan . 3. What book(s) did you read that had been on your shelf forever and ever? #TheIliad by #Homer (and I loved it). . 4. What book didn’t quite live up to your expectations? #TheGoodPeople by #HannahKent. . 5. Which book will you be recommending to many friends and family? All of #TheNeapolitanNovels by #ElenaFerrante. Also “A Tale for the Time Being”…. and #Fahrenheit451 by #RayBradbury ? . 6. What’s the most bookish thing you’ve done this year? I bought another bookshelf ?? . 7. How many books have you read this year? 53! . 8. Have you made any bookish resolutions for 2019? I want to stop stressing about not reading fast enough. . 9. Do you have a reading goal? I reduced my goal to 12 books in 2019, one book per month. It gives me LOTS of breathing room, no pressure. I can enjoy reading this year ? . 10. How would you describe your bookish year? I think it was a great year!! When I look back on it, I remember the year as green and summery, probably from the stories I read on Greek mythology, and the ones set in Italy. . I tagged some others to do this too, if you want! (And if you haven't already) ? . . #bookstagram #readinglist #yearinreview #2018books
The Dispossessed. I think about this book and no words come. That's the effect. Inside, though, I remember the community who lives by sharing but that has lost the meaning of individuals. They're not suppose to be egoists on Anarres because life is that harsh. They get dispossessed of their own dreams that they did not even know they had. And then, Shevek, the eternal idealist! I felt all the way how he envisioned a sharing that's beyond his planet, a happiness of thoughts and ideas, and how dispossessed of himself he becomes in his journey to face the others. I shared myself the pointlessness of a theory to make to those that already have a property, a lifestyle, a government, yet they don't know how to live with others. This book has so many interesting layers and at the end, I myself got dispossessed of it and had no words, only feelings and emotions that can't be properly described. A masterpiece of sci-fi writing. #justfinished #thedispossessed #ursulakleguin #sfmasterworks #orionbooks #scifi #book #bookstagram #bibliophile #igreads #haibunmd

? Book blurb ? Shevek, a gifted physicist from the planet Anarres, travels to its sister planet Urras to meet other scientists in the hope of finishing his theory on the Principles of Simultaneity. The two planets have a long and twisted history, and travelling to Urras might mean he would never be able to return. ? Well, where to begin with this one... What a writer! What a book! Absolutely everything is spot-on: the beautiful writing, the whole and oh-so-human characters, and above all I was blown away by the depth of the two worlds she created. Anarres, arid and just-about-liveable, is relatively recently colonised by a group of idealists from Urras, who set up a nonauthoritarian socialist society. Urras is much like the western world I know: green, glorious, ruled by a hierarchical, patriarchical, capitalist few, largely to the detriment of the many. Le Guin’s power lies in her ability to show both societies wholly, from their most shining examples of greatness right down to their darkest mistakes. Yet I still know which world I would take in a heartbeat. I read somewhere that this book is the anti-Ayn Rand, but I think it is more the flipside to Rand’s coin. Shevek is, after all, looking for the best way in which he, personally, would grow to his fullest potential. He just always sets this personal search within the context of his society, so that as a whole it can grow, too. Marvellous stuff. ? THE DISPOSSESSED by Ursula K. le Guin. Highly recommended. . #sophie?bookblurb #bookreview #blookblurb #justfinished #reading #books #bookstagram #sciencefiction #scifi #philosophy #differentworlds #differentpeople #shevek #emptyhands #highlyrecommended #ursulakleguin #harpercollins

The fact that Ursula K Le Guin isn't a household name proves the lack of representation for female Science Fiction and Fantasy authors. Earthsea is literally one of the best Fantasy series ever written and obviously a major inspiration for many modern Fantasy novels. Harry Potter being the most popular one, and one of the ones that drew the most from Earthsea. The Left Hand of Darkness, The Dispossessed, and The Lathe of Heaven are all award winning Science Fiction classics and easily at the very least comparable in quality to any of the more widely known SciFi classics like 1984, Dune, or The Foundation series. I love her and she's one of my favorite authors for sure, and it just irritates me the amount of people I've met who love Science Fiction and/or Fantasy and go "Who?" when I mention her name. #Earthsea #TheLeftHandofDarkness #TheDispossessed #TheLatheofHeaven #TalesFromEarthsea #Classics #UrsulaKLeGuin #Fantasy #ScienceFiction #SciFi #Books #Reading #Quotes

2018: 363/365 — There are so many things I’m loving about this holiday: having super lazy days with Kirk and binge watching “The West Wing”, having ALL the time to snuggle with the fur babies (so many puppy hugs!), eating ALL the foods (so... much... chocolate...), crafting with mom and generally just hanging out with my parents, random lunch outings and putt-putt with friends, the fact that it’s actually kind of cold outside (for real!), and getting cozy in bed just to stay up reading until all hours of the night. Why can’t I get paid to live like this? #livingthedream (at least for now)??? * * * #bookworm #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #booklover #bookphoto #booknerds #bookaholic #bookporn #bookaddict #bookgeek #bookish #reading #2018books #alwaysreading #japaneseorigamiforbeginners #ursulakleguin #harrypotterandthehalfbloodprince #jkrowling #vacationreads #holidayreads
Christmas gift cards are the gifts that keep on giving! . . I’m so excited for these Olives that I was missing, and I don’t mind worn books at all, but there’s a VIP seat in Hell for the stickers that peel the covers, right? . . One thing I love about the Olive Editions from Harper Perennial is that (until this year) most of the titles have been off the beaten path. Some were familiar, but it’s nothing like other popular collections. I’ve read so few of these, and the ones I’ve read since purchasing have been tremendous! . . #books #bookish #booknerd #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #oliveeditions #harperperennial #telegraphavenue #michaelchabon #pilgrimattinkercreek #anniedillard #thecryingoflot49 #thomaspynchon #baratundethurston #howtobeblack #ursulakleguin
Finally got my hands on a copy of by #UrsulaKLeguin with this cover art. I read this book while taking a Sociology class on the need for workers unions, and I don't think I've ever had such a significantly poetic experience since then. The topics flowed together, woven in that moment of cold understanding, and some of the most beautiful words I've ever read in the English language. #literaturemajor #englishba #bookstagram "We have nothing but our freedom. We have nothing to give you but your own freedom. We have no law but the single principle of mutual aid between individuals. We have no government but the single principle of free association. We have no states, no nations, no presidents, no premiers, no chiefs, no generals, no bosses, no bankers, no landlords, no wages, no charity, no police, no soldiers, no wars. Nor do we have much else. We are sharers, not owners. We are not prosperous. None of us is rich. None of us is powerful. If it is Anarres you want, if it is the future you seek, then I tell you that you must come to it with empty hands. You must come to it alone, and naked, as the child comes into the world, into his future, without any past, without any property, wholly dependent on other people for his life. You cannot take what you have not given, and you must give yourself."
“And day to day, life’s a hard job, you get tired, you loose pattern. You need distance, interval. The way to see how beautiful earth is, is to see it from the moon”. And vice versa. #ursulaleguin #fullmoon #nofilter

A couple of things to admit here: I actually listened to this one. I library-loaned the audiobook read by Don Leslie. Also, this was my first #UrsulaKLeGuin, and I hate saying I might never have read her if not for the tributes that came out after her passing. Wow that would have been very unfortunate for me. I knew of her work as a kid and a teenager, mostly the Earthsea books, and I figured that was the best or maybe the only time to read her. Well, let me tell you, even if you're on a high-literary diet, #TheDispossessed should blow you away. This novel is a peak experience in pure story, pure imagination. Of the classic #speculativefiction worlds I've read - Orwell, Dick, Atwood, etc. - probably none have matched what I just saw here. Le Guin has a brilliance with everyday life and its causes and effects, and with divining a natural equilibrium, and to me that makes her #utopia so much more riveting. Even regarding the elements of this novel that draw criticism, I'm not convinced. Call me crazy, but I was surprised and delighted to be inspired by a traditional hero in a story, with a credible weight to his goodness. That's rare when you're a longtime reader. And the writing - it's funny, when I went back to reread a couple favorite passages in print, they did seem a touch self-important or heightened, but when I first heard them read aloud, they were only impressive - clear, durable, specific language. The style is neither rote and cliched or florid and undisciplined, which is what I dread when I read SF (sorry if that's too honest for genre fans ?). Le Guin's style is unique, with some truly beautiful moments. And that's crazy, when such a novel already has so much to offer. I'd say this book has riches, but that might be too ironic considering the #anarchism it champions. You can call me a new fan. I'm already eyeing the Library of America box set of the complete #Hainish cycle ...
Starting this one right now. I have high hopes. Those who have read it, what did you think of it? #read #ursulakleguin #book #bookstagram #literature

This post I’m doing something a little different. Here's a fun comparison between Imagine by John Lennon and Anarresti culture: Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky (There is no religion, only the moral teaching of Odo.) Imagine all the people living for today (There is constant food shortages which makes people respond to immediate work needs.) Imagine there's no countries (There are only cities, settlements, and syndicates to divide the Anarresti.) It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too (Already discussed - even more obvious) Imagine all the people living life in peace, you (Technically, the do live in comparable peace.) You may say I'm a dreamer (Odo’s dream becomes Anarres.) ... skipping for space Imagine no possessions (There are no possessions. Having things is frowned upon.) I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger (To be greedy, even in thought, is to 'egoize.' All children are taught this is awful.) A brotherhood of man (Every person is ‘brother’ or ’sister.’) Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you... Sidenote: I like it when printeries have different stylised chapter dividers. I like that this has just the right amount of white space. . . . . . ***** #ellescommonplacebook2019 ***** #ursulakleguin #imagine #imaginesong #johnlennon #songcomparison #whitespace #bookstagramfeature #bibliophile #booknerd #bookworm #amreading
