Khan's Castle

My taste for SF continues to be sated, most recently with Ursula K. Le Guin's Four Ways to Forgiveness, what I found to be a beautiful collection of four novellas. Le Guin writes, among other things, soft SF, where the real subject is humanity and attendant issues. Her treatment of those topics is, itself, unusually compassionate; as much as any writer I've ever read she seems to feel for the people in her stories. Forgiveness is part of the Hainish Cycle, and so I have more to look forward to.

Moving on. . .

If you've never read any of Roger Ebert's zero star reviews, do yourself a favor and have a look at one. His review of September Dawn is the latest. You can easily find them via the advanced search page on his web site. All are very well written. Some of them are really funny.
