I just finished The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin. God damn that's a good book.

Agreed!

Just read The Dispossessed recently for a class. Really good.

I keep thinking about the end and crying. When I finished it, I had to just stare at the wall for a while.

*slow clap*

Welcome to the club. There's a sad dearth of quality reviews/commentary for the book on the internet, especially those that refer to the Taoist philosophy behind it. There have been some great Yuletide stories though.

I've always wondered what a film version of LHOD would be like.

Yes it is! Is one of my favourites. I also like her book The Dispossessed, Is in the same universe, but a bit earlier and with a different planets and people.

Awful. They'd never, ever pull it off. Not the genderlessness, not the telepathy. And way too much is internal.
