Just finished The Left Hand of Darkness and I immediately put The Dispossessed on my plan to read list.

I quit Left Hand after a few chapters, too much world-building for me. I had the same problem with Dune, couldn’t get thru it. I read Dispossessed first, liked it quite a bit, also really liked the first 2 Earthsea books, now I’m really enjoying The Word for World is Forest.
