The Left Hand of Darkness

I rarely enjoy such slow, philosophical writing, but I guess bringing gender and it's nuances into the mix is what I needed to get me going!

Along with gender, or lack of it, Le Guin explored many interesting points about life on a frozen planet and what kind of cultural norms and taboos might grow in such environment and how an alien from earth arriving into the planet might find themselves facing those differences.

Based on this I look forward to reading more from the author.
