Farewell Ursula K. Le Guin

[Cyrus The Great]

I read with sadness this evening that Ursula K. Le Guin, one of the great writers of science fiction and fantasy stories, passed away yesterday.

I read her Earthsea Trilogy when I was in my teens and really enjoyed it. I was so pleased when it was made into a mini-series. One of my other favorites was "The Lathe of Heaven", which was also made into a very entertaining movie.

I had read so few of her works. All of the Earthsea books, though. I think some I did read, but so long ago, they only niggle at my memory.

I'm going to have to seek out Rocannon's World, Planet of Exile, City of Illusions. The Word for World is Forest is clangoring as something I must have read, but I cannot remember it from the blurbs online!

I've heard of the books but never got around to reading them
