Sassafrass (sass-a-frass) | 603 comments IF I comes off hold in time, I think I will read Between the World and Me.

if that come off hold in time I'll read March: Book One which I should have read back when we were supposed to read graphic novels.

Thanks, Elvenn. I knew there was a way to do that, but had forgotten.

I'll probably read one of these:

The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin is amazing. Le Guin has become one of my favorite authors -- sci fi, but with a very humansitic, anthropoligical approach. She is the daughter of a famous anthropologist, after all. And The Left Hand ...
was ground-breaking.

Several of the others on your list are good, too. But The Left Hand ... is not to be missed.

I have only read one book by LeGuin, but I enjoyed it. I will have to put The Left Hand of Darkness on my TBR. I didn't know that she was the daughter of a famous anthropologist. That is interesting to know.

MY burgeoning TBR is just one of the reasons that I have a love/hate relationship with these threads, lol.

Glad you're finding the link useful, Elvenn.

Yeah, that bug with the 25+ page of shelves has been happening for years.
