I really like a lot of le guins stuff even if she was a dumbass white american anarchist but The Telling has the unfortunate honor of being the only audiobook I've ever stopped listening to part way through. It's astounding how stupid white people are when it comes to china lol

i dont know this one but i read her translation of the I Ching and it was funny how much she'd change the things she didnt like, sometimes being like "he probably didn't mean this, i changed it to x" and sometimes being like "i've excised this whole chapter because its distracting from the real message" every time lao tzu goes "peasants should know their place" or "women shouldnt be allowed to talk"

also every story i've read of hers is about an intriguing and mystical man everyone is always talking about, dispossessed was interesting but didnt have an ending, lathe was okay, but earthsea 1 was a snoozefest
