I’m off work next week and planning to read some Ursula K Le Guin, whose works I’ve unconscionably omitted from my reading until being obliquely recommended “Vaster Than Empires And More Slow” recently. Having done that, where should I start?

@gilesdring I started last year with The Dispossessed and I'm embarrassed I didn't start earlier. Blew me away.

@danhon OK. That is a strong recommendation. Was one I had my eye on…

@gilesdring @danhon Lathe of Heaven is also 👌

@pikesley @danhon I’ll add The Left Hand Of Darkness to this list…

@danhon Well that was excellent. I’m off to form a Syndicate.

@gilesdring @danhon The Wizard of Earthsea books are also good (read the first three aloud to my kids after having read them as a teenager) and are a great feminist antidote to Game of Thrones.

@wlukewindsor @danhon Yes. They were on my radar too. Was more in a science fiction mood, but also read a bunch of short stories (cross genre), and was very impressed with her ability to bend the genre to her style, rather than the other way round
