No Time to Spare by Ursula K Le Guin

Ursula K. Le Guin on the absurdity of denying your age: If I'm ninety and believe I'm forty-five, I'm headed for a very bad time trying to get out of the bathtub.

On cultural perceptions of fantasy: The direction of escape is toward freedom. So what is 'escapism' an accusation of?

On breakfast: Eating an egg from the shell takes not only practice, but resolution, even courage, possibly willingness to commit crime.

Ursula K. Le Guin took readers to imaginary worlds for decades. In the 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, No Time to Spare 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.

The pages sparkle with lines that make a reader glance up, searching for an available ear with which to share them. -- Melissa Febos, New York Times Book Review

Witty . . . deeply observed. -- USA Today

A book that truly does matter. -- Houston Chronicle
