I gave up on Flowers For Algernon. The style of writing, from the perspective of someone with learning difficulties, just came across as outdated and maybe even a bit ableist by today's standards. Maybe I need to give it more of a chance, I really didn't get very far but it just made me feel uncomfortable.
I started reading The Dispossessed by Ursula K Le Guin yesterday, having never read anything by her before. Pretty spooky seeing as I just found out she died yesterday. Enjoying it so far, clever sci fi with anarchist themes.
