Book finished

The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K Le Guin

Well, OK, I read it. It's an interesting tale but I don't know what to think that it had to say. I suppose in 1969 it may have had something to say about gender roles, but to me today that doesn't mean a lot, it was a big "so what."

I think what I will take from it is the relationship between Genly Ai and Estraven and their trek across the ice.

G+

I'm pretty much over on Google+ 100% now, for those who have thought that there seemed to be a lot less pointless drivel on their friend's page. I have only gotten here twice on 5 days now and it'll probably taper down from there. G+ seems to be (at least currently) a great middle ground that hits both what I got out of LJ and what I wanted to get out of FB (but never did due to the low S/N ratio there).

G+ doesn't allow the flexibility of posting that LJ does, at least not yet, but it's probably not a bad thing to force me to be a little more concise.
