I finished a Wizard of earthsea by leguin and really really enjoyed it. It’s fun to read about a wholly different place that follows wholly different rules by a story that bends around expectations. I get a lot of similar feels from pratchetts discworld #books #earthsea #reading https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13642

Finished the early first three novels (1968—1972) of Ursula Le Guin's Earthsea cycle.
There are so many fantasy stories full of masculine muscle play, stupid violence and ridiculously shallow human characters & relationships. Not so those of Ursula Le Guin. They are beautiful stories about personal growth saturated with humane values, wisdom & wit.
Yes, we love her.

I finished the second book in the saga titled "The Tombs of Atuan". It's great.
It follows the story of Tenar, a girl taken to an old temple in the desert to be the priestess devoted to the "Nameless Ones", ancient gods long forgotten.
She was very lonely there; all her life changed when she met Ged, the first book's protagonist, who was in the underground labyrinth under the temple looking for an ancient relic. This encounter completely changes Tenar's life.
The main topics of the book are freedom, gender, and the power relations emanating between those, reflecting the anarchist views of Ursula.

This is why I don't care for lore of any fandom and #Warhammer in particular - is a story and can be changed whenever OG wishes, or wants to sell more puppets.
(barring Ursula K Leguin's #Earthsea as that got better as she went along)

A wizard may have subtle ways of telling the truth, and may keep the truth to himself, but that if he says a thing the thing is as he says.
— The Books of Earthsea: The Complete Illustrated Edition (Earthsea Cycle) by Ursula K. Le Guin
Book(s) 5(a-d) is out the door in my #booksof2024 list - it's the first four books in Ursula K. #LeGuin's #Earthsea series. And what a brilliant entry this one was. Im slightly surprised it took me so long to discover these but our wonderful librarians in #FrederiksbergLibrary strikes again.

I went to the Fantasy exhibition at the British Library and I also read about the Tolkien exhibition in Rome. Here are my thoughts on the new politics of fantasy. #sff #fantasy #tolkien #lordoftherings #leguin #earthsea #britishlibrary #exhibition
This has me crying today.
“We can't do anything without each other. But it's the greedy ones, the cruel ones, who hold together and strengthen each other. And those who won't join them stand each alone...Nobody can be free alone. Not even a mage. All of them working their magic in prison cells, to gain nothing. There's no way to use power for good.”
-Ursula K. Le Guin, Tales from Earthsea
Brent Sleeper commented on Ursula Le Guin’s Earthsea by John Plotz (My Reading)
A book on the experience of reading Ursula Le Guin's Earthsea novels.
What makes readers …
Hard to say no to this dust jacket promo copy: “What makes readers fall in love? You might want to start your answer by explaining #UrsulaLeGuin. She owned John Plotz at age eight, on the overlit and understaffed second floor of the DC library. Four decades and who knows how many re-readings later, her #Earthsea owns him still.”
Brent Sleeper replied to Brent Sleeper's status
@brentsleeper@bookwyrm.social David Plotz and Elizabeth Ferry discussed the book, the nature of #Earthsea, and Plotz’ conversations with #UrsulaLeGuin on the most recent episode of their #podcast, “Recall this Book.” https://recallthisbook.org/2023/09/07/112-earthsea-and-other-realms-ursula-le-guin-as-social-inactivist-ef-jp-ukl/
