No Time to Spare: Thinking about What Matters -- Ursula K. Le Guin

<strong>Ursula K. Le Guin on the absurdity of denying your age: "If I'm ninety and believe I'm forty-five, I'm headed for a very bad time trying to get out of the bathtub." <p/> On cultural perceptions of fantasy: "The direction of escape is toward freedom. So what is 'escapism' an accusation of?" <p/> On breakfast: "Eating an egg from the shell takes not only practice, but resolution, even courage, possibly willingness to commit crime."</strong> <p/> Ursula K. Le Guin took readers to imaginary worlds for decades. In her last great frontier of life, old age, she explored a new literary territory: the blog, a forum where she shined. The collected best of Ursula's blog, <em>No Time to Spare</em> presents perfectly crystallized dispatches on what mattered to her late in life, her concerns with the world, and her wonder at it: "How rich we are in knowledge, and in all that lies around us yet to learn. Billionaires, all of us."<br><br><b>Author:</b> Ursula K.
