My husband and I decided to start a Christmas tradition of buying used books for each other's stockings. I've never read this before, and I was pretty blown away, especially considering it was published in 1959. It is startlingly relevant still and belongs on all the lists of important fiction. I was blown away by the richness of the world-building and the different perspectives it made me take. Glad to finally fill in this hole in my literature canon.
