Mark ReidFinished reading Le Guin’s “The Telling” last night. Beautifully and compellingly written, as always.Probably due to current events, I couldn’t help but read it as a hopeful tale of community resistance against techno-religious fascism, and the importance of shared stories and symbols in that fight.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ursulakleguin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ursulakleguin</a>

HawksquillBook 19 of 2025Atonement by Ian McEwan (reread)4 starsI first read this back in high school and remember really liking it, but I wouldn't have called it an all-time favorite. On a reread, I had the startling realization that this book has been much more influential on my writing style (and relationship with my own creativity) than I ever realized. Several passages had been deeply embedded in my brain, like I realized I thought about them on a semi-regular basis without remembering the source.I can appreciate the technical skill and mechanics of the structure as a more mature reader, even though the prose was sometimes cloying. I also appreciated the metafictional aspects more on a reread. Above all, reading this made me aware of a few flaws in my own recent prose choices. Genuinely going to be meditating on what I can learn from McEwan; he creates long stretches of internal monologue that are the perfect balance of reflective and engaging. <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bookstodon</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Books</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/BookReview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BookReview</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Reading</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/AmReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmReading</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Atonement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Atonement</a>
