... both turning to the same part of a novel, to reveal simultaneously that you both wrote in the margins "no ethical consumption under capitalism."

T___T I love my gentle anarchist mother!!!! oh boy, is it time for me to reread The Dispossessed? it's been over ten years I think.

Oooh, yes!! It had been ten years since I read it, this time, and I was really surprised by how different the book itself was from my memory of it (but in a good way). I have grown a lot in ten years. I'm reading it with my housemates and it is has been really inspiring for us.

What a wonderful house project! I mostly remember feeling like it didn't live up to Left Hand and the Earthsea books, but you're getting me excited to go back.
