That's a tough question. I haven't read "The Dispossessed" yet.
Despite some part where it didn't hold up to real technology, I did enjoy the story in "Doomsday Book." I felt for the characters more in this book than I did in the others.
"Paladin of Souls" was also really good. It was kind of slow having to get through "The Curse of Chalion" first, but the stories themselves were both really good.
And going back to the very first of these book I read, I really liked "The Windup Girl". If for no other reason, then to be introduced to Paolo Bacigalupi.

Hello!
Well, you both appear to lean more toward the fantasy genre: I'm more of a SciFi guy myself, so my favorites are quite different.
My absolute number one is "Ender's Game"; I've read he book over and over again! It's incredibly entertaining, and I'm fascinated how it's actually supposed to be a children's book.
"Dune" is a classic I just recently discovered—I'm not surprised at all it is a classic. I liked it way more than Star Wars or even Lord of the Rings, two similarly enormous, epic sagas.
Also, Pohl's "Gateway" is one of the books that surprised me most. I wasn't expecting anything like it, and I love how the whole story works on two completely different panes, with two completely different messages. I'll never forget the last pages of it…

I also like SciFi more than fantasy, but some of it's OK. I know Ursula LeGuin also writes fantasy, but he 2 on the list are SciFi.
I also liked Ender's Game (who doesn't?) and was pleasantly surprised by Dune. I haven't read Gateway yet, but it's good to hear that you liked it.
