I'm nearly finished the second Peabody book on my re-read, and am 1/4 of the way through
The Left Hand of Darkness. Peabody is definitely fun, although I'm discovering I have to be in the mood to find her idiosyncrasies amusing, not something I remember having felt when I read them 30 years ago. I'm still not sure how I feel about Le Guin's classic, for reasons utterly unconnected to its core, central conceit.
