Le Guin is not an "action" author in any case, and won't appeal to everyone. I happen to like her quite a bit, but I'm not always in the mood for her stuff either.

Mostly I read only fantasy. I have a long list of what I would like to read. Earthsea was the next on the list after The Lions of Al-Rassan

I just thought that Earthsea belongs to fantasy classics so I have to read it at some point. A friend of mine who liked The Black Company series by Glen Cook (which I really enjoyed), also liked Earthsea and I wanted to give it a try. Unfortunatelly it is not my type. I will finish it anyway. At least the four major books and maybe the fifth as well. They are pretty short. Then I will read The Terror by Dan Simmons, then....maybe I will start reading HP or Perdido Street Station by China Mieville or Anansi Boys/American Gods/Stardust by Neil Gaiman. Then...Robin Hobb, her third and fourth trilogies.
The list is very long for a slow reader like me

Probably will take me 2 years to finish everything I said.
P.S. Then there will be Black Man and Ysabel in a new future to read as soon as I can
