1.		A Wizard of Earthsea (The Earthsea Cycle, Book 1) from Spectra Price: $10.20 Customer Review: This is a classic book and with good reason. It takes the standard concepts good vs evil, becoming a better person or become the person you are meant to be; and Le Guin makes is it feel fresh and inviting you want to know more. The reason for only 3 stars is due to my personal bias of finding the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		The Left Hand of Darkness from Ace Trade Price: $10.20 Customer Review: I have read Ursula Le Guin's other novels(the Earthsea series and The Dispossessed). I thoroughly enjoyed everything I had read by her, so I expected big things coming into this book. Reading the term "feminist science-fiction", I was a little worried I would see a lot of male-bashing. The... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Lavinia from Harcourt Price: $16.32 Customer Review: This novel is a must-read and an amazing and unexpected turn from one of the best-loved writers of sci-fi/fantasy around today. Ursula LeGuin re-tells certain episodes in Virgil's Aeneid from the perspective of Lavinia, the Latin princess whom Aeneas ultimately marries to found the lineage that... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.	[no image]	Dispossessed from Avon Books Customer Review: Science fiction has often described libertarian societies and ideals. Think of such works as Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land," Russell's ". . .and Then There Were None," and Williamson's "The Equalizer," among others. One of the most explicit of science fiction works on a society... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Lathe of Heaven from Eos Customer Review: A coworker recommended I read some of Le Guin's work, and with how many books I recommend, I feel generally compelled to read recommendations. This novel started out following my normal fiction interests-dystopias. It seemed like this was going to be a good psychiatrist dystopia, which was... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		The Tombs of Atuan (The Earthsea Cycle, Book 2) from Atheneum Price: $16.46 Customer Review: The Tombs of Atuan is very different from A Wizard of Earthsea. It focuses on a young woman who has spent her life cloistered in the tombs of gods who she serves but doesn't know. Just as the reader feels completely miserable at the state of this disillusioned young lady, Ged (who nobody would... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		The Farthest Shore (The Earthsea Cycle, Book 3) from Pocket Price: $11.20 Customer Review: This book arrived well before the expected date and was a great buy. I will be buying from them again.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Catwings from Scholastic Customer Review: Not only does Le Guin's story have such an original feel, in spite of being the basic plot line of just about every stray dog story ever written, Schindler's illustrations tug at the heartstrings. The cats look just like... real cats with wings. Schindler's realistic style is what makes Catwings... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Tehanu (The Earthsea Cycle, Book 4) from Pocket Price: $11.20 Customer Review: I had the pleasure of reading the entire cycle from A Wizard of Earthsea through to The Other Wind in a two month period. Apparently for some people, having to wait several years between the end of The Farthest Shore and Tehanu gave them time to build up rather unrealistic expectations of what... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Tales from Earthsea (The Earthsea Cycle, Book 5) from Audio Literature Price: $32.00 Customer Review: This book arrived well before the expected date and was a great buy. I will be buying from them again.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.	[no image]	The Other Wind (The Earthsea Cycle, Book 6) from Topeka Bindery Price: $23.90 Customer Review: While I really loved the original Earthsea trilogy, both as a kid and as an adult, this book (and "Tehanu") were a bit disappointing. I had a hard time deciding on whether to give this book 3 or 4 stars and in the end went with 3. I can't pick out anything technically wrong with the book, but it... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Steering the Craft: Exercises and Discussions on Story Writing for the Lone Navigator or the Mutinous Crew from The Eighth Mountain Press Price: $10.17 Customer Review: This book was recommended in another book (I can't remember which now) for it's chapters on POV and voice. I have never read one of LeGuin's novels, but I decided to borrow it from my library. Boy, am I glad I did! I liked it so much that I renewed it the maximum number of times, made my mother... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.	[no image]	Prentice Hall Literature from Prentice Hall Price: $90.85 Customer Review: This is a fine collection of literature to introduce students, and adults, to genres and methods of literary analysis. Highly recommended for an easily accessible overview.	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching from Shambhala Customer Review: One great way for non-Chinese speakers to appreciate the nature of this book is to compare many different translations and see how different they can be. I've read any number of translations of the Dao De Jing, and this is by far my favorite. Most of them tend to be pretty academic, which certainly... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Voices (Annals of the Western Shore) from Harcourt Paperbacks Price: $7.95 Customer Review: I'm happy to report that I enjoyed Voices much more than Gifts. In this story of the Western Shore, we meet Memer, a 17 year old girl -- a "siege-brat" -- who lives in the occupied land of Ansul, a city of people who used to be peaceful, prosperous, and educated but who were overtaken 17 years... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Powers (Annals of the Western Shore) from Harcourt Children's Books Price: $11.56 Customer Review: Powers is the third and, in my opinion, the best of the Annals of the Western Shore novels. In this book, we meet Gavir, a slave in the City State of Etra. Gavir was born in the marshes but was stolen, along with his sister, by slavers and brought to Etra. He has the power to clearly remember things... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Worlds of Exile and Illusion: Three Complete Novels of the Hainish Series in One Volume--Rocannon's World; Planet of Exile; City of Illusions from Orb Books Price: $10.85 Customer Review: I've been a LeGuin fan for many years, so I've long been skeptical about reading this, a collection of her first three novels. (They form a loosely-connected trilogy and should be read in order for best effect.) I was worried that they might not live up to the standard of her later works, that they... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Always Coming Home (California Fiction) from University of California Press Price: $14.93 Customer Review: I have to share this: Recently while weeding out my various collections and selling some, my Mother listed this book for me. I did not tell her it was fiction and after looking over and reading some of the book she decided to go online and get more information about the Kesh. She was convienced they... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.	[no image]	Gifts from Orion Children's Books (an Imprint of The Orion Publishing Group Ltd ) Price: $8.49 Customer Review: when you just get the book in your hand you will not put it down till you finish reading it..	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		The O. Henry Prize Stories 2007: The Best Stories of the Year from Anchor Books Price: $10.17 Customer Review: I read these every year and I can always find excellent stories and then some that don't really appeal to me. But I would guess it's all a matter of taste. Here are my favorites: The Gift of Years by Vu Tran. City Visit by Adam Haslett A New kind of Gravity by Andrew Foster... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
