Help me choose my 150th book! (lemmy.zip)

As the title says, I'm reaching the milestone of reading 150 books and I'd love you all to help me choose my 150th book to read!

I'm not bound to a particular genre though romantasy, heavy horror or romance books are not my preferred genres to read. Everything else works! My favorite genres are thrillers, sci-fi, adventures, detective mysteries though I can read pretty much everything except the three genres I mentioned above. So you can recommend a wide range of books.

The book that gets the most upvotes will be my next pick! If I already read that one, it will be the next most upvoted one and so on. If your book suggestion got few upvotes, worry not! I have a plan for it too. I'll gather all the options that got fewer upvotes into a list and randomly choose a book from it as my next read.

I think 3 days is enough to let everyone make their suggestions, so that's when I'll pick the book!

Edit: 3 days have passed and we have a winner! The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin suggested by belluck!

Your recommendation is the winner! I'll this this book and come back to you with feedback on it.

If you end up liking this one, you’ll probably like her other books too. I personally really enjoyed the Earthsea books (especially the first three) for a more classic fantasy adventure, and, while I do have some mixed opinions about it, „The Left Hand of Darkness“ is also definitely a worthy read.
