A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin
I read this book in a college class. It was odd and stood out cause the class was on science fiction books. That was my normal go to for a book. This book really brought me into the world of fantasy books. That lead to me reading the LOTR, Wheel of Time, GOT, and a few other series. All these books have driven a large part of my leisure time and are a reason I thought it might be fun to start to write. A lot of these writers are pretty normal guys who just had a story to tell.
Damn @stever82 - I always knew Tales From Earthsea was inspired by books, and the author hadn't felt well represented in the film, as beautiful as it was, a great pick! Very much need to get myself a copy of this. @f3nix was right, this is just going to leave us with a reading list we can't wait to rip through!
Thank you for signaling this book, Steven! Did you also read the saga of Shannara by Terry Brooks? My experience is similar to yours. Having a good story to tell is definitely something to not be underestimated.
Oh I have not and I could use a new one I will look into it.

Yes. The first trilogy of the shannara series is great. I got bored with the later ones, but still good.
Sometimes they were really dead in some storylines. I remember that I used to jump the chapters to follow the plot I liked the most.
