It was amazing and is still one of my favorite science fiction books of all time.

It's awesome. It transcends the bullshit scifi usually spews, and actually has literary merit.

The Dispossessed is another good example of science fiction that can stand on its own as literature.

Go to hell. It's a damn good book.

>inb4 you reveal that you haven't read it but are one of those idiots on /lit/ who thinks books written by women all suck

I agree. That one really made me do a lot of thinking.

Not all books by women suck, just most, in the same way most books by men suck. However, more great books are written by men. This may have arisen from a number of different factors, but it is true. I'd say I read around 95% male writers, maybe a little more.

>>2568401
I'd say it's probably about 80% for me, but it's not because of a conscious decision on my part to avoid books written by women.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
