The Birthday Of The World and Other Stories — Ursula K. Le Guin
A most wonderful collection of short stories from the greatest Sci Fi writer of all time, Ursula K. Le Guin.
I think “Paradises Lost” is not only my favourite in this collection but also one of my favourite stories by Ursula ever. If there’s any story that i would have liked her to expand upon it would be this one. But maybe it will now inspire another great writer sometime in the future to expand upon it: please let me know if you are that writer.
All in all, a great collection, especially for fans of Ursula’s Hainish Cycle, with the majority of the stories being from that.

A Wizard of Earthsea — Ursula K. Le Guin
I’ve lost count of the amount of times i’ve read this book, and i’m sure i’ll read it countless times more. Earthsea is probably the greatest fantasy series ever written. I’ve yet to find better.
Here’s an article in The Guardian… “David Mitchell on Earthsea – a rival to Tolkien and George RR Martin”.
