Default OT ~ Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers

Wow, that would be really hard to do given the range of her works. There
are many sites that review her books. I disagree with those that claim the
follow ups on her Earthsea trilogy were of a lesser quality. I liked them a
lot. If you are a Harry Potter fan, then you really should start with the
Earthsea trilogy. The first book starts with the beginning of the story of
Ged, a young orphaned boy who goes to the famous wizard school to learn his
craft. It does not have the fun and silliness of any of the Harry Potter
books so don't expect that but do expect to love the characters and the
story itself.

The Left Hand of Darkness is one of my favorite books and I believe her
first. The Dispossessed I believe is required reading in many college lit
courses. These are not fast paced, shallow character books. She creates
worlds you fall into and feel rudely expelled from when the book ends.
