Book Club: Dispossessed

If you haven’t yet weighed in on our last book group selection, “The Ones Who Walk From Omelas,” please do so soon! I’d like us all to get focused on our next selection: Dispossessed, by Ursula LeGuin.

Can we also set up a time to meet and discuss in person and/or via webcam? If you’d like to join in the pilgrimgirl bookgroup meeting, please drop a line in the comments and let me know which of these three dates would work best for you: April 22, 27, or 29. If you’d like to join in via webcam, chime in on the best dates for you, too.

Oh, and we’ll be meeting at chez pilgrimgirl in Irvine, CA. :)

This is how I spend much of my day–hanging out on the bed reading with a warm lapkitty keepin’ me cozy.

Yah, I know there are lots of you out there who aren’t catpeople. I wasn’t one for the first 32 years of my life, so I can relate. But now that I’m converted, there’s no going back. :)

Don’t forget to take the survey!

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet more than fifteen years ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, started a history podcast, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). For my 38th birthday and 25th anniversary of my bone cancer diagnosis, we (meaning me and you) bought legs for a young double-amputee from China. This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
