The Dispossessed - Ursula K. Le Guin

I´m not exactly sure what to make of this book. Le Guin is an amazing author, her world-building is fantastic, her writing is simply stunning and she definitely deserves the praise of being one of the great science fiction authors of all time.

But here´s the thing that irks me about her books: Le Guin has an idea and she explores this idea in an almost relentless manner over the course of a novel. And in the case of this book, being bombarded with philosophical musings and talk about societies and their cultural differences became quite exhausting at some point. As fascinating as all of this was, this book didn´t bring me joy while reading it.

So yes, I feel a bit conflicted about this book.
