Understandable and valid, but if or when you decide to give it another try I can recommend starting with “The Word for World is Forest”, then going on to “The Left Hand of Darkness” and later “The Dispossessed”
imo the barrier of entry for Le Guin’s SciFi works (especially in that order) is relatively low compared to other progressive and socialist SciFi novels (which is quite a feat as well, since her works handle important themes just as well if not better thanks to her relatively concise but still “warm” writing style)

That’s a great tip, I’ll try to remember that, thanks!
