Ursula Le Guin's best?

[yngvi]

I've read most of her famouse stuff maybe 20-30 years ago but I've re-read the Earthsea books 4 or 5 times. I deliberately didn't read Tehanu until about 3 years ago and thought it was a worthy addition to the trilogy but I only read 'The Other Wind' a few weeks ago. Her writing style is still strong but although I can see why she wrote it, I think she probably should have left it at four books.

I tried to re-read 'The Left Hand of Darkness' last year but it was way too slow and I lost interest at about page 70. Strange isn't it? (I thought it was brilliant when I first read it, and it probably still is)

I think The Earthsea Quartet would be my choice, although I liked The Farthest Shore the best. So far, these are the only books of hers I've read (something to remedy in the near future), so I'll likely post again with my opinions then.

Haven't read as much Le Guin as I'd like, but, The Word For World is Forest and The Telling would be favourites alongside those already mentioned. Earthsea was my introduction to fantasy in many ways so holds a very special place in the hollow tin chest.

For short story I'd put up Paradises Lost and Solitude, although, I haven't read The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas.
