   I can almost see LeGuin sitting back in her chair, big smile on her face, saying "Ursula, you've done it again"

     @lain I've never read a LeGuin (except for listening to Sam Harris's reading of The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas), but I want to. Which one should I start with?

     @lain You are not being attacked or anything. Entitled to your own opinions and tastes. Some people I know say she's great, and I've only watched that one Earthsea miniseries adaptation (not all of it) and that one Miazaki Earthsea adaptation, and you know how almost all adaptations are terrible adaptations... that's all.
