Comments on: Margaret Atwood http://www.moley75.co.uk/2009/03/18/margaret-atwood/ This blog is supposed to be about all sorts of things but, shall we say, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a minor interest of mine.

I'm loving it so far and I can see now why it's considered to be one of the best novels of all time. But maybe that's also because I tend to like literary fiction. But, you know what, after watching Buffy, I suddenly had this intense urge to go into science fiction/fantasy and so I bought the Le Guin. I actually haven't started that one; after watching the movie <i>The Jane Austen Book Club</i> (which mentioned <i>The Left Hand of Darkness</i>), I made a mental note that I'll start with Le Guin. :) I’m just halfway through The Blind Assassin, although I’ve had this forever because I tend to hoard books even if I have so little time to read.

I was listening to the Le Guin interview because I was hoping for inspiration. I like the idea of her work because it's science fiction/fantasy and she deals with sexism and racism but I haven't read any of her work. That's not quite true because I have started reading <i>The Wizard of Earthsea</i> at least twice and I've just not got into it. What would you recommend? I have <i>The Blind Assassin</i> on my shelves - one of my many to-be-read books. "Entropy" is on its way. Cool.

And Le Guin's "The Birthday of the World" is lying not very far away :-) Happenstance: I’m holding/reading “The Blind Assasin” when I clicked this site, looking for new Buffy episode reviews.
