Hiero's Journey 19 reviews Sterling E. Lanier
Del Rey, 1983
Excellent Book
+ One of the best + PHENOMENAL
"Hiero's Journey" is a great book, and would make a pretty darn cool movie. Mr. Lanier is quite creative, especially with his ideas on what sort of civilization might emerge from the ashes of a nuclear conflict (a semi-republic centered on monasteries in western Canada, where the damage might have ...

The Left Hand of Darkness 183 reviews Ursula K. LeGuin
Ace, 1987
On my list of must-reads . . .
+ Le Guin's Masterpiece + Can't put it down
I probably first read this book long before many of the posters were born, but not in a vacuum-I also read all of the other Hainish novels I could find. For whatever reason, the Hainish novels have always held my attention in a way that the Earthsea books do not.
I was always struck, not by the ...
