I finally read The Dispossessed yesterday and wow, I really loved it. Le Guin's prose is so hit and miss for me but this one was a hit. I need more works of fiction that take anarchists seriously and thoughtfully.

There's something heartbreaking about the fact that this book is half a century old now and yet still so very relevant.

@clarity I finally picked up a copy of The Dispossessed last week as a big fan of Earthsea and enjoyer of The Word for World is Forest so I'm excited by this glowing review
I recently read Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle which is also 60-odd years old and doesn't feel like it's aged a day
