Always got room in my heart and on the shelves for more Le Guin. The non-fiction you read sounds fabulous! I enjoyed The Word for World is Forest when I read and definitely agree on the ‘more trees’ front.

I recently read The Sea, The Sea for my first Murdoch and it seems like it has a similar vibe to The Black Prince: an unreliable narrator in the shape of an old, jaded novelist. Unsure which to pick for my next Murdoch, but it feels like these two are really similar?

Never a bad time to be reading Le Guin!

I was thinking of picking up The Sea, The Sea as my next Murdoch. I think it's one of her more well known pieces of work, or at least it's the one I've seen most people reading. I didn't realise it was so thematically similar to The Black Prince, so now I'm definitely intrigued to pick it up and see how they compare!
