My partner and I finished the audiobook of Le Guin’s Tombs of Atuan over the weekend and started The Farthest Shore, both really enjoyable reads.
I personally am reading through Jane McAlevey’s A Collective Bargain, a nonfiction about the importance of unionization and collectivism as it pertains to both work and democracy. She tells the stories of four folks who managed to fight for and win the right to a union in their workplace. It’s accessible and a fairly short read (just a couple hundred pages), so I’m going to go ahead and recommend that one here too :)
Ursula LeGuin's 'Earthsea' books were some of my favorite Y.A. reads when I was young. I reread the first one a few years ago and it was so nostalgic that I had my son read it too. He blasted through all her books after that one.
If you and your partner like LeGuin, I would also recommend reading her 'The Left Hand of Darkness'.
I’ve read Left Hand and loved it!! My partner asked about it a while back and said he’d love to read it after Earthsea. Do you have any other recs of hers?
Sadly I haven't read any more of her novels, although I do have a 5 novel compendium from her on my shelf I should revisit sometime...
