And I realize again that I cannot pick speculative fiction that people who don't read speculative fiction will like.

This is hard, yes. I picked this one book for my book club (Lolly Willowes), and after we read it, one person said, totally confused, "Is this a book about someone who's mentally ill?" Er, no, I do not read it that way.

OTOH, I have had success with giving The Left Hand of Darkness to people who don't read SF.
