I intend to stick mostly with 50 and 60s SF in 2016,yet also want to continue with the Defining Books challenge. But looking through the 70s list what few books are available through the library are either rereads or books I dont fancy.One year it is down to a choice between Delany's Triton (I am so bored by his obsession with sex of all kinds.Books that set out to shock or be polemics become so old hat once that crusading time is over. Style isnt enough for me! lol) and the very downbeat and depressing eco-nove,fl Le Guin's Word for World is Forest.
