That's a great innings

Ursula K. LeGuin, as well :/

I should read earthsea again, and the ship who sang, and...

Also Howard lewis for those for whom "pancake day, pancake day, p p p p pancake day!" Is a find remembered memory.

FierceKitty · 24 January 2018, 12:24:11 AM

She's crossed into the Dry Land too? For the sake of her earlier books, she is much to be mourned (but why, oh why, didn't the Earthsea Trilogy take the hint in its name and skip those disastrous later sequels?).

toxicpixie · 24 January 2018, 08:27:10 AM

I think she'd gotten fed up with people not heeding her and made the message of her work into a club, not a needle...

I haven't read the later ones, or watched the mini-series; she seemed to think it was bobbins...

FierceKitty · 24 January 2018, 11:06:52 AM

The last ones are stories carrying meanings that the plot and characters don't support. Extremely disappointing.

Mark E Smith of The Fall! Only 60!
