I'm revisiting Ursula LeGuin for the first time since my Earthsea days in high school. I do love Earthsea, but I'm not really into that kind of fantasy anymore, so I'm digging into the sci-fi. I'm reading and loving The Lathe of Heaven right now, but don't know much about the rest of her stuff. What are your favorites?

It’s all good. I think *The Left Hand of Darkness* is quite remarkable though.
The Lathe of Heaven is excellent, good choice. I also loved The Dispossessed, and the Gifts series (although I suppose Gifts is fantasy again).
My favorites are The Lathe of Heaven and Lavinia. Lavinia is a re-telling of the epic poem the Aeneid from the perspective of a minor character, Lavinia. It is about a young woman following signs and portents and finding love. It has a dreamy, hypnotic feel to it and it’s a great read!
