A Wizard of Earthsea * The Tombs of Atuan * The Farthest Shore * Tehanu Ged is but a goatherd on the island of Gont when he comes by his strange powers over nature. Sent to the School of Wizards on Roke, he learns the true way of magic and proves himself a powerful magician.

But over the years, Ged witnesses true magic and the ancient ways submit to the forces of evil and death. Will he too succumb, or can he hold them back?

#BookReport
So apparently this week was sponsored by my library holds that came in. Managed to finish both because they weren't super deep and I had a good time reading them.

#WeeklyForecast
So I started the tagged but have realized that I had three library holds come in one of which has a deep request list so I won't be able to renew. My goal is to finish the library book (not pictured) and try to get through the first Earthsea book.

I have read probably a hundred fantasy books in my life. I guess most people at this point would lament that it took 44 years to read such powerful books as these. But I think I read them just at the right time in my life. They are unlike any other fantasy books. I love how she combined fantasy with eastern philosophy. She truly is a master writer and has deep roots. If only the world could be taught these lessons, it would be a better place.

My first Le Guin book(s), and I liked them! The rhythm and pacing was different from most other fantasy books I‘ve read, but they were beautifully written and interesting. The only one I maybe liked the least was “Tehanu,” though with our modern discourse on women‘s emotional labor, “leaning in,” and work equality, there were some interesting parallels to draw, especially since these books were written several decades ago.

Talking about some of my favourite speculative fiction series on the blog today. What are yours?

https://reallifereading.com/2019/06/04/top-books-from-my-favorite-genre-toptentu...

Geeklet The latest speculative fiction series I have loved is The Broken Earth trilogy by N.K. Jemisin. I haven‘t read The Inheritance Trilogy yet but I think she‘s just an amazing author. The Fifth Season literally took my breath away. 5y
Geeklet I really need to read The Earthsea Cycle. I have only recently read Ursula K LeGuin and I feel like she has an amazing depth to her writing. I can‘t wait to read more. I also really enjoyed the Hyperion Cantos but not so much the Endiymon books. 5y

So I have been pretty absent from litsy. Life has been difficult. Lots of nightshifts and extra shifts and with flu season it has been hell. Still tried to keep some reading going even if not as much as I want. Finally felt the need to post, because I can't believe I'd never read these before. They are brilliant! I am almost finished with the second one and damn it's good!

This is old school fantasy at its best with dragons, a terrible evil, and a young and arrogant protagonist who must learn to wield his power responsibly. Lots of classic fantasy vibes including, sadly, an astonishing lack of female characters. If you can look past that, however, you find a simple, beautifully written, and absorbing story.

#EarthseaChapterADay

Finished yesterday night.
What to say about the quartet? I was honestly expecting more from such a classic of fantasy. Instead l had issues with all the novels, mostly relating to my involvement with characters and stories, which l always found very hard.
Loved the dragons, but the movement of the story never satisfied me. The end of the trilogy was strong enough. The end of the quartet was so disappointing.

AmandaL It wrapped up so conveniently and did not explain any of it. I'm glad I read the books, but I was hoping for more. 7y
JazzFeathers @AmandaL My feeling exactly. At the end of Tehanu l though, So what? Not the best reaction at the end of a trilogy. But l'm happy to have read it too. Had ment it for many years. 7y
batsy @AmandaL @JazzFeathers I relate to that feeling of expecting and wanting more. Maybe because it's such a beloved series; I've heard about it for so long it was hard not to build up expectations. 7y

JazzFeathers @batsy @AmandaL Me too. When l first became a fantasy reader in the late 1980s, already l heard talking of the Earthsea saga as a classic. I'm not sure why it is considered such 7y
Mdargusch Great photo! 7y
UrsulaMonarch @batsy @amandal @JazzFeathers I didn't come in with much in the way of expectations and was mostly interested to read the series to read more Le Guin - whose writing I find very intriguing but often not warm or welcoming (reminiscent of Atwood for me). Maybe this is self-evident, but do you think you'll read 7y
AmandaL @UrsulaMonarch @JazzFeathers @batsy I'm tempted to read it, especially if there is a Therru story in there. 7y

"As long ago as forever and as far away as Selidor..."

Just read the last words of Tehanu for #earthseachapteraday, and what can I say. I loved the Earthsea books. I think there was a lot of character develpoment in each book, and while there was always a story, I felt the books were truly about the changes each person went through on their respective journeys.

Thank you @2BR02B for organizing this :)

My present for being brave last Thursday! 😂
New range of bookmarks with Book Depository, haven't even updated the website yet!
It is nearly 900 pages long. I think this year is turning into unintentional #yearofthechunkster considering all the other books I want to read. May be a few months before I get to this but glad to have it in my hands none the less.

batsy Doing the buddy read for A Wizard of Earthsea now and it was a rocky start but am almost finished, could not limit myself to a chapter a day after passing the middle point :) Can say that I've slowly grown to love it... 7y
laurieluna @batsy I saw the Studio Ghibli film several years ago and always wanted to pick up the book! I don't think a buddy read would have been the best choice for me at the minute because my reading is so erratic 😩 glad to hear you enjoyed it though! 7y

5 chs into #Earthseachapteraday and I honestly don't know whether I've read this before. I know 100% I read Tombs of Atuan as a kid, and I was pretty sure I'd read Wizard of Earthsea and Farthest Shore too (don't think I ever did read Tehanu) but so far I don't remember much. Except 'archipelago' has been used several times & I know this series was the 1st time I read the word, (& mispronounced in my head for years until it was a clue on Jeopardy)

BarbaraJean I know I read the first book as a kid, but I didn‘t realize it was a series until much later—my library only had the first one! I remember very little of the book, but I know it was also my first encounter with the word “archipelago”—and I‘m still not sure how to pronounce it correctly. 😏 7y

I am in the middle of so many books (as usual) but after feeling a bit overwhelmed by all sorts of things today, I just want to dive into this book and the world of Earthsea which I first began exploring when I was perhaps 12 years old and revisit every so often. It's kind of a comfort read for me and today makes me sad that its creator is gone.

#NovemberbytheNumbers #six

One of my favorite Fantasy series! The Earthsea series is 6 Books although I‘m fudging a bit, because one is a collection of short stories. 😊

A Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan, The Farthest Shore, Tehanu, Tales of Earthsea, and the Other Wind.

I can‘t recommend them highly enough!!

BethM I adore fantasy and I've never read her. I think that may be blasphemy of some kind. 7y
DivaDiane @BethM If you ask me, you are in for a treat! That said, some people can‘t get into her pacing. It‘s quite slow, but there‘s so much packed in there! They are pretty brief though! (edited) 7y
BethM I know she's written a lot- what would suggest that I start with? 7y
DivaDiane Do you prefer Fantasy to Science Fiction? If so, The the Wizard of Earthsea is the place to start. For Science Fiction I‘d say start with the Lathe of Heaven (which I‘m rereading ATM) or maybe a collection of novellas called Four Ways to Forgiveness. 7y

#fallintobooks day 29: #crush
The Wizard of Earthsea was the first proper fantasy book I read when I was a kid and I've always had a bit of a #crush on the tortured Ged.
Also, thinking about yesterday's prompt, I must say that I hope they never attempt to make these books into a series again. That first one was horrible and sadly that Studio Ghibli one wasn't right either.

Nat_Reads I've only read the first one! I keep meaning to finish the series, but can only find truly hideous editions. 7y

#JuneBookBugs #day28 #APlanetInTheTitle For this prompt I've given you both a book with the word planet in the title & a book with A planet in the title.The Long Way To A Small Angry Planet was one of my favourite reads last year,the characters were a joy & the storyline was hugely entertaining.The Earthsea Quartet are books I've always meant to read,but have never gotten to,so I bought the first four as a quartet & plan on reading them this year.

SpeculativeFemale The Earthsea books are a favorite of mine 7y
RealLifeReading I adore the Earthsea collection! And also the Chambers book was so much fun! Have you read the next book? 7y
Lizpixie @RealLifeReading yep, A Closed And Common Orbit is next to this one in my bookcase👍 7y
vivastory I'd never seen that edition of Earthsea. I've been wanting to read it but haven't been too thrilled with the editions I've seen. Thanks for posting! I bought a copy online. 7y
