from Douglas Moore’s blog Art of Quotation
“We read books to find out who we are. What other people, real or imaginary, do & think & feel… is an essential guide to our understanding of what we ourselves are & may become.”
Ursula K. Le Guinn, writer, books

She spoke for us all.
🙂
This news has not appeared in our mainstream news here. I found out on WordPress. I hope her passing and achievements are reported here soon. I do appreciate the bloggers who have shared this news with the rest of us.
It is the passing of a great talent. But you’re right, there hasn’t been as much coverage as there should be.
Completely awesome.
Yes, it is a great quote from an important writer.
This is such a true quote. I am hooked on adventure and fantasy novels mainly because I wish to be more spontaneous. Reading can take you any where.
Yes, we carry the world with us through books.
