truepenny: artist's rendering of Sidneyia inexpectans (Default)
[personal profile] truepenny
I knew Daddy-Long-Legs was just a place-holder for the book I really meant. 'Cause, yeah, I do like it, 'cause I'm a hopelessly sappy loser and go all mushy for Jervis when he doesn't even remotely deserve it. But it's not really a favorite like the rest of the books on the list. What I MEANT was this:

I'll make my report as if I told a story, for I was taught as a child on my homeworld that Truth is a matter of the imagination.
--Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness

And how I could put Daddy-Long-Legs in when I should have been drawn to The Left Hand of Darkness like a lodestone to the north is frankly beyond me.
