BTW, just finishing up The Left Hand of Darkness, a book I believe I picked up on your recommendation. I love it. Even though it was written in the 60's, it has a lot of topical relevance today with how it addresses politics and the the role of the sexes in our society. I'll try and muster up a review.

I think it would be great for a kids first bookshelf - its adds some extra magic to the whole thing and challenges convention which is never a bad thing.....

Left Hand is probably the book I've re-read most - maybe 5 times - and probably had a *huge* influence on my thinking. It is truly a great book. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
