Hi Hannah, That's hysterical! What were the game show people thinking? I wonder how many people in the world actually know the answer to that question? As...
Hello all, I love Le Guin more than any other writer but sometimes when I get to the end of her books I feel I missed some point. It had happened in "The Other...

Well, I'm sitting here in my house in sunny Nihon, watching a TV show about Gedo Senki, deciding not to bother going to the cinema, and very disappointed. The...

<I hear the Novels of the Ekumen are important to her body of work. I guess these books can be read in any order. Is this correct or not. By the way is there...
... How far did you get? It's true that the protagonists in the first three Earthsea books are young, but they do grow and change as the series progresses....
Hello Brian and welcome to the group. I too am relatively new here. Ursula has a great list on her Web site about the Ekumen and Earthsea books and what order...
I recently read the "Worlds of Exile and Illusion" books after having read several others from the Hainish series. With this background, I felt I could really...
... Very true. However, the references to "Alterra" elsewhere in the Hainish Cycle *do* refer to _PoE_'s Werel: when the ex-Terran and local people unify ...
Hi all Just wanted to say a few words in favour of Rocannon's World. It was the second UKL book that I read - after Wizard of Earthsea - so of course it has...
Hi There I want to thank you all for writing to me. As the new kid on the block you made me feel welcomed. I have another question to ask you. I see Leguin has...

Perhaps I was a little harsh on Rocannon's World ;). For the record, let me just say that I never met an Ursula book that I didn't like. What I would classify...
Hi Brian, Glad to help. I personally have always been partial to Buffalo Gals, if just because it is so different from anything else she has written. It's a...
Hannah, To me Rocannon is a very memorable character. UKL's ultimate observer. This theme sets up almost every other story in terms of the outsider looking...
I'm not sure I have a favorite collection of short stories by Le Guin, as my favorite short stories are scattered mostly through The Wind's Twelve Quarters...
I too want to speak up for Rocannon's World. It's the book that has those wonderful flying cats that Rocannon rides on to visit "his" world. That image alone...
My special thanks to Jeremiah for letting me in on his favorite story collection. I'll keep Buffalo Gals in mind. I just purchased her new collection of...

... Hi, Rocannon's World may or may not be the best book for a start to Hainish books but in my opinion, it is one of the best books you can ever choose if you...
