I'm currently reading The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin. Someone mentioned it in one of the threads here and to my surprise my library had it. It's a really interesting story. I love how Le Guin is able to create a world that is so different yet feels like a real place.

The only issue I have is that it takes place on a planet aptly nicknamed Winter where it's so cold all the time. And it's been a really cold week here too, and reading about the freezing cold only makes me feel colder. If anyone knows any good books set in hot climates, I'm all ears.
