Seven books to get to know me:
Pigeon Post by Arthur Ransome
The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K le Guin
The Algebraist by Iain M Banks
Life After Life by Kate Atkinson
Middlemarch by George Eliot
Malafrena by Ursula K le Guin
Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett

@JonSparks Lovely to see Middlemarch show up on a "Seven Books" list!

@JonSparks I'll second the Left Hand of Darkness. What's up with the dream scene, though? It always kinda bothered me. But the last time I read it (the fourth) it was starting to become more of an endearing quirk than a bother.

@dylanbragg Yes, it does seem a bit out of kilter with the rest. But LHOD was published in 1969 and a bit of hippy stuff was probably obligatory about then.

@JonSparks I have not read Malafrena though. I love Ursula Le Guin.

@dylanbragg Malafrena's very different, but it's a beautiful novel.
