I've heard that about The Dispossessed. I tried to listen to it on audiobook and the narration was terrible, so I just couldn't get far into it. I need to pick up a physical or digital copy.
Oh, and Malazan is great. That one took me two tries to really get into as well, mostly because I initially had trouble keeping track of so many characters.
100% read it. I think most things aren't "must reads" even my favourite stories, but some have such unique ideas or skillful execution that if you enjoy literature you owe it to yourself to read them.
There's obviously a very large list, I suggested some I didn't think would be represented here. The dispossessed is a short read and uncomplex in its construction and pros so it's easy to squeeze in a chapter here and there or before bed.
Idk if you will agree it's a must read, that's obviously quite subjective, but I highly doubt you'll find the time you spent with it unsatisfying.
