You've most likely read at least two major quotes from this speech. I wouldn't mind if the video took on a Holland's-Umbrella-esque life and became required watching when it crossed your feed.
To that end, here you go:

Le Guinâs first three novellas. A masterclass in economy: these stories are as epic, as deep, as wide ranging, and as emotionally powerful as some entire series of lengthy novels!

Arha's isolated existence as high priestess in the tombs of Atuan is jarred by a âŠ
My favorite of the Earthsea Cycle novels. Deeply atmospheric with endless mysteries.
I just finished reading The Farthest Shore (Earthsea Cycle Book 3) by Ursula K. Le Guin
I found it a little harder to follow than the first two for some reason. It may be that I only had the audio version of this book. I usually donât have any trouble with audiobooks, but I think my interpretation of the text may have varied from the narrator if I had read it to myself. It was nice to get back to Ged with a new young character, and I liked that the dragons were back.

I finished a book last night.
When I turned the final page of A Wizard of Earthsea, I cried out, âWait! Thatâs the end?â
Currently Reading:
A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin
Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
Both are first time reads for me.

This quotation, written in the context of a discussion of language in worldbuilding, helps me to understand why I find it necessary to construct languages myself.

La main gauche de la nuit - Ursula K. Le Guin
Une relecture en demi-teinte : ça a beau ĂȘtre un roman important, je l'ai trouvĂ© un peu ennuyeux Ă la relecture. C'est un classique qui commence Ă prendre la poussiĂšre.
Mais j'ai aimé le lire avec un regard plus acéré et le mettre en perspective avec les autres textes de l'autrice qui tournent autour, ça m'a donné envie de continuer à relire ses écrits

Sur Gethen, planĂšte glacĂ©e, il n'y a ni hommes ni femmes, seulement des ĂȘtres humains. âŠ
J'ai pris grand plaisir Ă dĂ©couvrir l'univers d'Ursula K. Le Guin. Comme le roman s'inscrit dans un cycle de plusieurs romans et nouvelles, je pense que je m'essaierai Ă parcourir d'autres planĂštes de l'Ekumen. On plonge assez facilement dans ce monde. Je craignais un peu de m'y perdre mais le talent littĂ©raire de l'autrice rend la visite accessible, mĂȘme Ă celles et ceux, qui comme moi, n'ont pas l'habitude de ce genre littĂ©raire. Je n'ajouterai rien concernant l'un des sujets les plus traitĂ©s du roman â une façon trĂšs originale d'aborder la notion de genre â vous trouverez moult articles sur le sujet (cf. la postface de StĂ©phanie Nicot).
My latest blog post: on reading fantasy (and some sf).
