McHugh,Susan Mosser,Ed Park,Christopher Rowe,Dave Shaw,Glen Hirshberg,Vandana Singh,Samantha Hunt,Shelley Jackson,Rosalind Palermo Stevenson,Gre Hit or miss, with no one story knocking my socks off, but enough with enough meat that I read almost all of them. I skipped the 2 longest that had the most poetic, flowery language.

Less than fifty pages in
No Time to Spare: Thinking About What Matters - Ursula K. Le Guin,Karen Joy Fowler

And I'm giving up.   I just don't find the first essay entertaining or engaging at all, so I'm DNFing and not voting for this either.

Meaning
No Time to Spare: Thinking About What Matters - Ursula K. Le Guin,Karen Joy Fowler

"Meaning - this is perhaps the common note, the bane I am seeking. What is the Meaning of this book, this event in the book, this story ... ? Tell me what it Means.

But that is not my job, honey. That's your job."

 

- Ursula K. Le Guin

Reading progress update: I've read 23 out of 240 pages.
No Time to Spare: Thinking About What Matters - Ursula K. Le Guin,Karen Joy Fowler

I could not put off reading this book any longer. 

 

There are two collections of Le Guin's articles/essays on my Mt. TBR shelf and this is the one that was only recently published (November 2017). 

 

No Time To Spare is a collection of articles from her blog, which you can check out here

 

Having read only a few pages so far, it just drives home just what a powerful force of mind we have lost. 

 

One of my favourite post on her blog so far is this one about Amazon - and I am fairly sure that she deliberately abbreviated "Bestseller" and that the term "BS Machine" does not refer to "bestsellers".
