WTF is wrong with you?

I can appreciate the occasional trolling, but Jesus.

What? I thought we were showing our love and appreciation for obscure people who demonstrate our open-minded, tolerant, and diverse political leanings?

The heck? Le Guin is a major figure in sci-fi/fantasy. The Earthsea trilogy, the first one, was a nerdy kid must read for decades. She's not obscure.

Sure. Totally. I'm a huge fan of Joanna Rus, too. RIP.

You're just bragging about barely or not knowing one of the most recognizable names in a whole genre of writing.

Every major newpaper covered her death. So did CNN, BBC, NPR, etc. You imagine this to be vitrue signaling rather than people mourning a famous, influential, and beloved author. Ok, buddy.

I don't know why you're so defensive right now, EA. I take it you're a huge fan of Vonda McIntyre?

Doc, in case you really are unaware of Le Guin and aren't just trolling, may I recommend one of her short stories, The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas. I found it hugely meaningful, and If I recall correctly, I have mentioned in a thread here before because of the subject matter. It's only 4 pages or so, you can read it online here:

Her writing is superb. Granted, I am really into sci fi, but still, her works occupy a significant place in my Library.

I'll check it out. I'm re-reading a Brave New World right now, so I'll queue it up!
