The Dispossessed is more political and philosopical.
Left hand of darkness is about difference and prejudice.
I would also say that Dispossessed is more about love, Left Hand is about friendship.

It is a nice reading and you may very well just read the first trilogy to grasp it.

Parmitano is going back to the ISS in July. Also he is going to be the first Italian to take command of the space station.

Mars is a better space body for a colony. I suggest reading "A case for Mars" by Robert Zubrin.
