Grass

The Left Hand of Darkness - Ursula K. LeGuin
Foreigner - C.J. Cherryh
Gateway - Frederik Pohl

I found the hierarchy system on the planet of Grass to be quite interesting and also very amusing. I enjoyed the fact that the townspeople were more intelligent and productive than the bons at the estates, but still let the bons believe they were in charge.

Why do you think the author chose to explore the possibility of a romantic side (and thus the idea of beastiality) to the relationship between Marjorie and Him?
