Glad someone put Ursula Le Guin
I think Louise Erdrich belongs on my list too

The book takes up top down economics, deep state machinations and an expose of the dark underbelly of Milton Friedman’s theories. This is a book several men have tried to write and failed.

I'm open to any non-fiction (philosophy, history, (auto)biographies, feminism (theory/lectures), etc.) or any fiction (classics, horror, sci-fi/adventure/fantasy, etc.) as well as kids books or anything else you think is worth sharing.
