I'm a huge book nerd/word nerd/book junkie.
I buy books, just to buy them. It's a bad(and expensive) habit
I love fantasy and The Earthsea Cycle is my fave fantasy series.
It's by Ursula K. LeGuin, and everyone should read them. Dare I say
Oh yes, I dare say it
They are the better than Lord of the Rings
Disclaimer: For those who've seen the Scifi channels bastard second cousin of a mini series Earthsea, do not just it on that piece of crap
They basically took the world of Earthsea and some of the main characters and smooshed them into a stinky mess.
Now...Sally forth, to the bookstore and read ye Earthsea Cycle
