I'm in between fiction right now. Contemplating what to read next. Maybe going to give Earthsea another try.
I'm also working through Guns, Germs and Steel, which is a fascinating read.
Wizard of Earthsea is part of the 3 books that showed me I loved Fantasy.
What are the other two?
Magician by Raymond E Feist (later broken into Magician: Apprentice and Magician: Master and the split works even better)
Pawn of Prophecy by David Eddings.
Both are pretty cliché by modern views, but both are pretty well written otherwise. Good world building.
But ooo-boy, if one is the type of person that has trouble mentally separating the very problematic writer from their works (like JK Rowling or Marion Zimmerman Bradley), Eddings probably isn’t the best to read.
I have seen Eddings get recommended a lot, but I have never gotten around to reading any of his book. Belgariad has been on my wish list for more than a decade now. I really should check it out sometimes.
