I polished off THE LEFT HAND OF DARKNESS last night. My earlier thoughts on this one rang true through to the end. It's a beautifully written book with very interesting explorations on sex, gender, and politics. Makes me want to look deeper into more of her Hainish cycle.
I'm still chipping away at DON QUIXOTE and enjoying it. I think I'd love it more if it didn't lean so heavily into referencing the materials it's satirizing but I can also see why it was necessary to do so.
This one's a pretty hefty one so it's definitely going to slow my pace a bit. I'm also going to give myself a bit of a breather and hop over to something a bit more current to accompany it as I've been making pretty good time so far. I'll likely double up again sometime in late Feb or early March. -

I've heard that the audiobooks for DCC are particularly good as well -

polishgenius, on 01 February 2025 - 08:04 PM, said:Frances White's Voyage of the Damned is currently cheap on Kobo, at least in the UK store (a quid). I'd recommend checking Amazon for those who read that way, was one of my favourite reads (and one of the breakout hits, I think) of last year.
Grabbed this for $3 on Kobo. Thanks for the recommendation -

Finished A TALE OF TWO CITIES today. My earlier statements stand and this was a 5* read for me. The back half of the novel is a master class in keeping the reader in a state of high tension. I'll also say that the closing line of the novel is gorgeous. Somehow it manages to be heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time.
I'm currently about 40% into THE LEFT HAND OF DARKNESS by le Guin. I am enjoying this book now, but made the mistake of picking it up on inauguration day to avoid facing the political shit show. Then I come across non-binary nationalistic aliens. Once I came to terms with that, I've found the novel very engaging. Le Guin always amazes me with how much worldbuilding and character she manages to push into a small pagecount. Between this and the two EARTHSEA books I've read, I'm starting to think she may end up as a deep-dive author for me.
I think my next serialized novel is one I've been meaning to read for years that was suggested by Azath: DON QUIXOTE. -
