Ursula K. Leguin - Earthsea was pretty good fantasy, nobody can say she wasn't great at describing water... she did make the wizard a nigger though...
She was a commie. The Earthsea trilogy was pretty good, but trying to read the Dispossessed was trying to eat sawdust.
Yeah the other Earthsea books weren't even good. That's all I have though... Rand maybe but I never finished Atlas, I didn't feel like trudging through all of it for the message I already knew was coming. I had to read Little Women in high school and I was so glad my mom bought the wrong edition (only the first half the book) because it was worse than watching paint dry.
Jane Austin is pretty good. Her humor is as cold and dry as a fresh razor blade.
I saw the movie. It's anime but really awesome. Was unaware there was a book. Cool.
Good answer, LeGuin wrote "Lathe of Heaven" which was a really great work of science fiction.
Wizard Of Earthsea and the 2nd book in the series (forget the name) were the only things of hers that I enjoyed. The 3rd book shit the bed, hard. It's worthwhile noting that they are kids books. Left Hand Of Darkness I was not able to finish. I know she's revered in SF but I have never understood why.
