3. Never heard of it, but I'll now be adding it to my reading list.

Here is a pretty good discussion group. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13651.The_Dispossessed

4. Assuming you mean LeGuin's novel, here is a link to a PDF of an academic

paper on the novel's politics/economics.

Sorry--the link won't work (though the PDF download does work). I am posting a link to the search engine page. Scroll down the page for the PDF link:

9. The novel is quite good. I read it, literally, decades ago when it came out and loved it.

In fact, it is one of my favorites. I assure you that you won't have any trouble understanding and enjoying it. Now I am thinking I should re-read it!

6. It changed my life

I was never the same after reading that book. My belief in what a better world could be was shaped by it. It is a masterpiece.

7. Oh my! Thrilling!

I am reading / listening to it now. Studying it. Then I will read The Power of Now by Tolle, as recommended here.

Light in the darkness.

10. I read it a very long time ago, and I recall

that I liked it a lot. Can't recall any plot details so I can't participate in a discussion, alas.
