"Love lends life a little grace, / A few sad smiles: and then / Both are laid in one cold place"

I was going to do a link post, but, well, Le Guin.

The first thing I tried to write, in high school, was Tolkien with serial numbers filed off. The second thing was The Farthest Shore with serial numbers filed off, touched-up with paint borrowed from Howard Jones and The Police. (This, even though the book I reread most often was The Tombs of Atuan.)

Full sail and a following wind to the stars.

Omitted from the post itself: In college and through grad school, I reread Always Coming Home once a year.

I think that's wonderful.

Exactly.
