Ursula LeGuin's parents were famous anthropologists and intellectuals. I don't think most people get her fancy childhood where your parents host the Illuminati at your house. I know I didn't. I remember my Dad just yelled at me because I was in his eye-line for the Reds game. We won't even talk about my brothers....so many farts....so many. My house was no Algonquin Round Table. It felt more like living in a zoo among the higher apes.
It's set on a super cold planet so you should read this in the summer. And you should drink this with something cold. [They drink hot beer in this book--no thanks] It's still hot here so try with this very adult lemonade made for a crowd--Limoncello Collins: 16 oz. Limoncello, 12 ounces of gin, and 8 oz. lemon juice. Combine these and chill for at least 2 hours. Press three thinly sliced lemon slices in each of your 8 glasses and add ice. Stir your liquor mix and add to the glass. Top that with about 2 ounces of club soda.
One of my favorite all-time books!
