I can't remember why I'm mad at you...

Depends on what you're looking for but the original three Earthsea books are probably the best general starting place. Read The Dispossessed if you always wanted to read a Communist version of The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Read Left Hand of Darkness if you want gender discourse in your sci-fi.

I like the sound of both of these things, honestly. Thanks.

I finished The Dispossessed, why did Shevek just peace out after the general strike and the state repression after? Dude just left everyone there after making a big revolutionary speech and massive general strike in the capital.

Good book though.

From what I remember the dude didn't know wtf was going on. He had some idea, but the reality of it wasn't clear to him, so when poo poo went down he fled.
