I agree, Ursula Le Guin is near the top of my list of favorite =
writers. I'd also include Robin McKinley and Jane Yolen.
The sequel to Le Guin's Earthsea trilogy is Tehanu (Atheneum, 1990). =
It's a powerful book; IMHO it's best appreciated once one has reached =
middle age (whenever that may be).
I've thoroughly enjoyed all three Harry Potter books. They are just =
the most fun and most inventive I've read in ages. The American ed. =
definitely has a nicer format than the British.

Mary Ann and All,
I would add Ursula LeGuinn to the list. I found her Earth Sea =
Trilogy
fascinating. I understand there is now a fourth in the series. Have any =
of
you read it?
