ten october ninety eight one a m the left hand nags the right Oh, do stop writing me about how I have not read The Left Hand Of Darkness. I am perfectly aware that with my peculiar gender outlook, this is a very important book for me to read. My significant other, who is a much bigger LeGuin fan than I am, has told me this on several occasions (and has had a good laugh at the contents of my email this evening). Truth is, LeGuin's writing style never did all that much for me (I liked the filmed version of The Lathe Of Heaven quite a bit more than the book), and when I was in high school, I tried to read The Left Hand Of Darkness and abandoned it early on. Of course, at this point I don't remember why. I'll probably attempt it again soon, though, in the face of all this nudging. After all, as I remarked to one of the two Mary Annes, in high school I hadn't yet realized I was a girl.
