The Dispossessed by Ursula Le Guin, 400 pages


This is the ReadMOre book this year and the JPL book club Readers Without Borders is reading it this month. So I read it, and I finished it only because I had to. It dealt with communism, free thought, gender roles, language, physics, and tons of other deep and serious issues in a sci-fi genre. I'm not a sci-fi fan unless it's Star Trek (I've got a thing for Q) and I could feel my eyes glaze over when the novel went into pages of physics and time theory. Maybe it's a great book that was revolutionary and shocking for it's time (published in 1974) but I just didn't like it.
