"Some folks might be put off by how old these novels are..."
I've been reading a lot of books from Project Gutenberg over the last couple of decades. Most of their collection ends in the 1920's, so Le Guin seems pretty modern to me by comparison.
People who consider something from the 1960's or 70's to be "too old" are really missing out on so much amazing literature.
To me, newer stuff tends to be much worse than the old.
