This her words on the seemingly inescapable nature of capitalism should be playing on repeat on every medium available. A reminder to people that WE are the instruments of change. She was such a phenomenal author, human, and true patron of the arts.

@@barsabe I never said actors were liars. In fact, actors and instruments are quite similar. They play parts in larger groups but can also convey ideas on their own.

WI started reading with comics like GI Joe and Superman. I began reading books at eleven with Edgar Rice Burroughs. Science fiction was a big deal with Burroughs so space fiction, Heineken, Asimov were not far behind. Mrs Le Guinn was like a light going on. I try to read one of her books every year. Words comfort and inform. She was so above more than so many SF authors it raised me up when the church failed. Being a wordsmith is so important to all of us. Grace and knowledge are essential.

And this is why half of europe died in the black plague. Idiots, the lot of them. To be called a witch by a fanatic is a compliment of the highest calibre. Any revolutionary thinkers, scientists, dreamers, artists and writers will be deemed a witch, a pagan, demonic. Which says quite a bit about religion as a whole but that's another can of worms. The christian truth is just that, a christian truth. It is not a universal one, however much some christians would like it to be. And it could very well be true that her books stand in opposition to your truth but not mine, nor many others.

As another commenter said, her publishers price her books. Could she have used the influence she had towards the end of her career to pressure the prices down? I don't know nearly enough about the publishing industry to answer to say for sure, but I doubt it. Even if she could have, she'd been dead for ~6 six years when you made your comment. The prices you see now have nothing to do with her. Some of her books are even being sold now as new editions that came out after her death. I agree her writing is excellent!
