You should give The Left Hand of Darkness a[nother] try.

Lol, literally the one I was thinking of, still have the old paperback copy from before I was teenager somewhere.

I've been trying to get thru Roger Penrose lately, and if I ever make it thru The Road to Reality, Im sure Le Guin is going to feel like a Marvel movie in comparison.
