Review of 'Of Mice and Men' on 'Goodreads'

An excellent book to read on a sitting. Gives you a taste of what was life in the country in early 20th century US. Although a short book, goes deep into the diversity of human nature, and the toughness of life.

Ursula K. Le Guin: Ursula K. Le Guin's the left hand of darkness (1987)

Review of "Ursula K. Le Guin's the left hand of darkness" on 'Goodreads'

An excellent what-if. The concept of an alternative sexuality paradigm is interestingly explored in Le Guin's book. Of course this alternative paradigm affects every aspect of a society, but Le Guin does not lampshade these changes, always keeping in mind that there are other factors that shape society. The writer lets you explore this what-if world through a not-so-ordinary outsider's lens, immersing the reader into Winter's culture while analyzing it at the same time. Amazing book.
