So what is 'escapism' an accusation of?\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e On breakfast: \"Eating an egg from the shell takes not only practice, but resolution, even courage, possibly willingness to commit crime.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ursula K. Le Guin took readers to imaginary worlds for decades. In her last great frontier of life, old age, she explored a new literary territory: the blog, a forum where she shined. The collected best of Ursula's blog, \u003ci\u003eNo Time to Spare\u003c\/i\u003e presents perfectly crystallized dispatches on what mattered to her late in life, her concerns with the world, and her wonder at it: \"How rich we are in knowledge, and in all that lies around us yet to learn. Billionaires, all of us.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Houghton Mifflin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/05\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781328661593\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.50w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2017 pg. 55\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2017 pg. 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/08\/2017\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ursula K.
