realized my “it’s still there” gag about Bernal Heights generally could have been read as if I had anything to do w/ the (cool) antifa cycling club sticker in one of my photos. Nope, I’ve got nothing to do with that.
I was just joking about Bernal Heights generally still being there. Anywhay, here’s another picture. OK, cya.
I read volume one+ when I bought this five years ago*: Rocannon’s World, Planet of Exile, City of Illusions, The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed, as well as The Word for World Is Forest. Thanks for the suggestion all those years ago @InclinedPlane!
sixth book: volume two of Ursula K. Le Guin’s two volume collection, The Hainish Novels and Stories. ( https://www.ursulakleguin.com/hainish-novels-and-stories )
I’ve been working my way through the stories in the second volume for years, picking it off my to-read pile now and again. This weekend I read the Five Ways to Forgiveness cycle and am about half way through The Telling, which has me enthralled, so I’m calling this one done early.
Strongest possible endorsement for the entire collection.

fifth book: took a break from all the serious stuff I’m reading to get and read Kitchen Confidential this week. Never read any of his stuff, but it turns out Bourdain’s writing on Parts Unknown is in exactly the same voice, so it was practically an audio book to read.
