This weekend I hung a hammock between two perfectly placed trees in my side yard. This hammock was a gift from my cast & crew of _Waiting for Godot_ (thank you all!), and I put it to good use by reading all of Ursula Le Guin's [_Left Hand of Darkness_](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0441478123/o/qid=960235216/sr=2-1/102-9420565-2119261). It was the first time in a long while that I devoted the time to reading a book from cover to cover in practically one sitting, and this book was worth the time. Le Guin knows how to write a compelling story.
