Yeah, it's the sf book I have read the most number of times.

In case you didn't know, LeGuin has set a few other science fiction novels in the same universe.  See The Telling, Four Ways to Forgiveness, The Dispossessed, Rocannon's World, City of Illusions, and Planet of Exile.  You can also find numerous stories in that universe, in collections like The Birthday of the World
