by Ursula K. Leguin The first of the classic Earthsea series by Ursula LeGuin. I probably should have read it long ago. It's a magical Fantasy about wizards and how they are trained in a land called Gont. Ged, the main character, distinguishes himself at a young age and comes to the attention of...
Another from NPR's Backseat Bookshelf. The rating is solely because I don't like high fantasy (I do like low fantasy). I'm pretty sure this A Wizard of Earthsea is good since most people who do like high fantasy like Le Guin and the Earthsea series. If I wanted long descriptions of fantasy worlds...
With all the hoo-ha regarding LeGuin's recent passing, I figured I should read one of her books to find out why she was so beloved.

Until a day and a half ago, Ursula Le Guin was one of those authors. The story is about a boy named Ged who, we’re told in the first paragraph, will b...
Hmm. I can see the appeal this book has to so many people and I did enjoy it somewhat, but there was something missing which kept me from rating it higher. Every time I started to really get into it, the plot seemed to reach a point where it would just fizzle out. The scene with the dragon was extre...
