Book Talk
So we had two options for books this past month, The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin and Cordelia's Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold.
Which book did you read/re-read? What made you choose that one?
What were your general thoughts?
Would you recommend it to others? Why or why not?
The Dispossessed
How significant is it that Odo was a woman?
What does this novel say about human relationships with self, family, community, society?
What was the purpose of portraying an ambiguous utopia?
Links of interest:
- an interesting study guide
Cordelia's Honor
What do you feel is the author's message about things like honor, loyalty, duty and patriotism?
How do you feel about the transition from 'distrust' to 'romance'? Was it believable? (Cordelia/Aral)
Do you consider this more scifi with a dash of romance, or romance with a scifi setting?
Links of interest:
- Joseph Mallozzi’s Weblog & Part 2 where the author shows up
