RIP Ursula K LeGuin
 

One of my favorite (of many) Fantasy authors.

Beloved Fantasy Author Ursula Le Guin Dead At 88 | HuffPost

THe Wizard of Earthsea trilogy was simply amazing.

And photos of her made me think she was a legit fantasy witch.

Maybe I should give Wizard of Earthsea another try-don't remember now why I never made it through the first book. She was one of the very best female fantasy writers out there along with the dearly missed Anne McCaffrey. RIP Ursula.

I like her stuff more than say Mercedes Lackey

Those are fighting words! :) Love Lackey's Valdermar books.

And Lackey was an avid CoH player!

RIP.

Earthsea was one of the very first fantasy series I read, even before LOTR.

Really interesting and sometimes provocative thinker... well beyond a novel here and a fantasy story there. Big Deal person.

I liked, a lot, The Left Hand of Darkness and consider it one of the top 20 Sci Fi books of all time. Maybe Top 10 I'd have ot think.

I have an original copy of The Dispossessed somewhere on my bookshelf.

I can't think of 10 better that I have encountered, so yes, Left Hand is, to my mind, one of the ten best SF novels of all time.
