Dispossessed and Left Hand are both excellent, I recommend them
highly.  I didn't really get D when I read it as a teenager, but that
subversive Left Hand made a huge impact.  Now I'm equally impressed
with D, but I want to get around to reading LH again, soon.  Maybe
spring break.  

Since D, I also read some of the Earthsea series.  That has a lot of
interest in part because of the differences between the books.  They
were written over a span of about 20 years, and the characters go
through some interesting changes, beginning to question the
traditional gender roles and rules, for instance.

Gary and Bryan were both into LeGuin, as I recall.

Delany - I don't know. LeGuin I've loved. The Dispossessed was great.
I  had to read it twice. (Hey, there was on list some discussion on
it last  summer, Lisa had read it?) However, "Left Hand of Darkness"
made stronger  impression, perhaps because it was first one by LeGuin
I ever read.
