LeGuin et alia... was Re: Introduction

Just to insert my 2 kroki:

_The Left Hand of Darkness_ has some fairly well structured language
material, quite aside from its very fine story.  Le Guin, and TLHOD in
particular, is/are majorly responsible for the creation of Kash and the
world they live in.  Alas, the story that Kash was supposed to fit into was
a poorly disguised re-run of her book.

Re _Always Coming Home_, I suspect only the hard-back edition included the
tape (CD?); it wasn't with the paperbk. edition, nor, IIRC, was there a
glossary.

At some point I'll send in a reply to the Celticonlang survey, albeit a
truncated one-- I started conlanging long before Tolkien hit these shores,
but gave it up for a long time, and have never used the Celtic languages as
a starting point.
