#FinishedReading #TheLeftHandOfDarkness by #UrsulaKLeGuinn

I love Le Guinn’s writing. This one is definitely 5/5 stars

I love a lot of things about #ursulakleguin's
#TheLeftHandOfDarkness, but here's one that stands out to me, though I haven't seen it talked about much.

It's the message that... your gut feelings about people are not 100% accurate.

The narrator, Genly Ai, has interactions with the androgynous Gethenians, in which he gets persistent feelings that they're "dishonest" or "deceptive"...

(...and I went off on a whole essay here, too long for Mastodon.)

Slowly working my way through the #HainishCycle

(Yes, I realise I read #TheLeftHandOfDarkness out of order).

Just read #RocannonsWorld and it's taken me a while to get the rest formatted the way I like them.

Got the seven all sorted now, so on to the next, which I currently forget the name of.

Technically I'm not watching it. 'er indoors is enjoying it though.
