During a quick re-read of these stories, I soon realised that although I have read them before, it is so long ago that I only had vague feelings of déjà vu.
Nine good stories, my favourites being "Semley's Necklace", "April in Paris", "Darkness Box" and "Winter's King".

This is VOL-2
Le Guin's stories are less about SF and more about philosophy. The SF setting just help to deliver her ideas. Two of the stories are really good and the rest were her telling you how you should see the world. I was not converted.
