The Dispossessed by Ursula K Le Guin

I'm very excited to be reading The Dispossessed. It's a scyfy novel where a man leaves his world and his family behind as he goes to a new world. This book maybe over my head. I understand that there is a lot of politics symbolic representing the United States Vs Russia, capitalism vs communism. Perhaps. I'm only on page 14 and so far I'm enjoying the story. I've never been one to look deeper than the pages.  I mean, how can this be the US vs Russia? We are on different planets. (lol - I'm joking)

I'm excited to read this book. I haven't read science fiction in a long time and I'm liking the change.

Have you read The Dispossessed? Join me and tell me what you think of it.

update review:  I didn't finish it. I would like to someday, but other things came up and I'm afraid this book goes back on the shelf. It's me, not the book. I have a hard time knowing where I am in this story because of the foreign words and made up geography.

I came across a passage that really hit home with me. 
... he never knew he influenced them, he had no idea they liked him.
There is of course much more to that story, but that statement really stood out to me for I know it certainly applied to my life. We make a bigger impact on other people's lives than we are aware of.
