I recommend The Dispossessed. It was the first Le Guin book I read and is still one of my five all time favorite books.

I have just finished le Guin's Malafrena. Has anyone in here read it too?

It's better to have loved and destroyed your girl with the power of the Arc of Covenant than never to have loved at all.

The only one I've read so far is The Left Hand of Darkness. It was difficult to get into, but once I did, wow! I loved the concept of a society just not having gender as a defining factor.

I was told it's part of a series of books set in that universe? Can't remember what the series is called, though.


I've loved that book from the first time I read it! But is not exactly part of a series, but from a set of non-related novels settled in the same universe, which is the Ekumen. The Dispossessed is from that universe and I highly recommend The Word for World Is Forest.
