The Left Hand of Darkness

Ursula K. Le Guin
Tyler LyleTyler Lyle

I can’t believe it took me 36 years to start it. Makes me want to get deeper into the fantasy genre in the same way reading Left Hand of Darkness opened up sci fi for me. https://t.co/UxsUbFc4FR

@Von_Hertzog I love both of those. I know the Ken Burns Country Music is really long, but even if you have little interest in the genre, it’s an amazing watch

Cosmopolitanism: Ethics in a World of Strangers

Kwame Anthony Appiah
Tyler LyleTyler Lyle

Cosmopolitanism by Kwame Anthony Appiah is worth reading for everyone. It says roughly that it is as wrong to assume that all truths are valid (relativism) as it is to assume that one truth is exclusively valid (nationalism/fundamentalism). We meet each other in the weird middle. https://t.co/4V9NrRsxxw

Courting the Wild Twin

Martin Shaw
Tyler LyleTyler Lyle

Embarrassed that my first proper read of the year was finished on the last day of April, and yet, it was just what I needed. If you’re into myth, his book “Courting The Wild Twin” has been given away many times from my library. I love Martin Shaw. https://t.co/fHGKkeRWDS
