my happy place today?

Tehanu. Because it's a beautiful book full of love and family and courageous women and impeccably fantastic story-telling.

I love how it always, always gets to me, how Tenar's struggle to come to terms with her own power in the different spheres of her life leads her to unwittingly merge them into this marvelous little act of kindness and compassion that she doesn't quite understand but fully and wholeheartedly defends. How it's all about growth and identity, choices and following your heart and recognizing that decisions made intuitively are just as valid as those made rationally.  It's such a beautiful story to read and to tell. I can't wait for my little sister to get time off so I can shove at it her recommend it to her.

I kind of want to be like Ursula K. LeGuin when I grow up.
