isn't she just? I adore that book. reread the first bit of it a few days ago. (it is so luxurious being in the same place as all my books!)
The Harp of Imach Thyssel
I've only read this the once, so that means it's by far not my favorite of her books. but I really like two of her other books set in Lyra - The Raven Ring (I lent you that, yes?) and Shadow Magic.
The Last Unicorn
have this but not read yet. I've read Beagle's A Fine and Private Place and enjoyed it, but I know what you mean about his style - I also have The Innkeeper's Wife and have started it at least three times and been unable to get into it. *sigh*
The Neverending Story
mmmmmmmrrrrmmmm. lovely book. although I've always been dissatisfied with the cover my copy has; i wanted it to look the way I imagine the Book to look. (haha, I have almost the same reaction word for word for the Prydain books.)
The Outlaws of Sherwood, Robin McKinley - there was much glee until I got to the last three pages, at which point my mouth involuntarily said, "Huh?" I must read more, though; the style is fabulous!
*grin* yeah, the last bit is sort of a shock to the system, isn't it? but such a wonderful wonderful wonderful book. and of course you must read more McKinley, it is all perfectly wonderful. (sorry my adjectives keep repeating, but hey.)
Tales from Earthsea
I have 7 LeGuin books (inherited two, though), and haven't read any yet. 4 of 'em are the first four Earthsea books. I shall read soon, I shall (not my stern-to-self tone).
I had The Forest of Serre for almost a year before I read it; I get similarily tentative. her writing grips me so strongly when i do open one of her books for the first time. but coming out of it is worth it. *happy addicted sigh* I've tried to explain the effect of McKillip's words on me multiple times in my lj; it isn't easy I know.
aaaahhh, books I love thee so. and thanks, Fiona, for giving me fodder for happy reminiscences ^_^
