I had to read a Wizard of Earthsea for school and HATED it (probably because I was expecting it to be like harry potter ngl). However, every discussion I’ve seen online about the best fantasy series almost always includes Earthsea, so I was wondering if I was just too young to appreciate it and should revisit it. I’ve heard similar things for Jane Eyre, which I also found boring but found out it’s apparently meant for middle-aged people.
Your famous and kick ass writers is your literature laid bare, it’s all you have. Meanwhile the Germans have to wade through, I dunno, mein Kampf to get to phenomenology of spirit (you read that in high school, right?)
