Science Fiction Aficionados discussion

The Member Pick of March goes to Lena. From her list, the group has chosen Ursula K. Le Guin's collection The Found and the Lost.

I'd like to thank Lena and group members for such a resonant pick. As we all know, Ms. Le Guin passed recently, and with that passing, Science Fiction and Fantasy lost one of their most eminent, well-regarded, and beloved authors.

In her lifetime, she's won the Hugo Award, Nebula Award, Locus Award, and World Fantasy Award, each more than once. In 2014, she was awarded the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. In 2003, she was made a Grandmaster of Science Fiction, one of a few women writers to take the top honor in the genre. Her writing was first published in the 1960s and often depicted futuristic or imaginary alternative worlds in politics, the natural environment, gender, religion, sexuality, and ethnography. In 2016, The New York Times described her as "America's greatest living science fiction writer". (Thank you, Wikipedia)

The Found and the Lost collects every novella written by Ursula K. Le Guin.

Starting tomorrow!

I finished Vaster Than Empires and More Slow as well as Buffalo Gals, Won't You Come Out Tonight but decided to skip Hernes.

So who else is joining in this month?

I am! But I am very behind right now, still have to finish Forever war, hopefully soon!

Finished the Hainish social science fiction stories The Matter of Seggri and Another Story or a Fisherman if the Inland Sea. Loved them both.

Finished Forgiveness Day, an enjoyable opposites attract love story with political intrigue in the Hainish universe.
