For the last ten years or so, every time I’ve seen Ursula K Le Guin’s name in the news, I’ve had a jolt of fear that she’d died. It snuck up on me this morning, reading Dreamwidth bleary-eyed over my coffee. I’d like to write a proper post about how much her writing has meant to me, but for now I just want to mark the moment. I wonder what is happening at her beloved Powells in Portland today. I wish I could be there for it.

I was just heading off to bed when I heard she had died, and my first reaction was a howl of nooooo. She seemed so eternal, and I, like you, can't quite put what she meant to me into words right now.

Yeah -- her work is definitely moving up my read/re-read list for 2018.
