I remember Ursula Le Guin's Earthsea books from childhood up to Tehanu. I think some of them were read to me. Those, maybe alongside The Dark is Rising books (which are rather different) were my introduction to magic and fantasy before FF. (Actually I didn't know she'd written a fifth one.)

I've only seen the Ursula K Le Guin Earthsea adaptation by the equally awesome Studio Ghibli but I thought it was really good. I'd definitely see more.

It's mostly based on the third book in the series which is absolutely brilliant. I liked the movie ok, but it's nothing compared to the book. Whatever you do, steer clear of the absolutely lousy adaptation the Sci Fi Channel did in the early 2000s. I've never read the later books (4 onwards) in the series, no idea why because I've reread the 1st one many times. |

This popped up on my timeline a while ago purporting to be Ursula Le Guin's writing schedule. I don't know whether it's genuine but it's appealing. (Not that I could go along with it – mornings are a mistake in my view.)  |
