She is the author of my favourite fantays books, Earthsea. I started to read them in the early 1990s, when fantasy books (at least in germany)where not easy o get. Of course you could buy "lord of the rings" everywhere, but I bought these gems at a flea market. I couldn't get hold of the third so I didn't read the whole story, nowadays almost every fantasy book is easely availible but I didn't found the time to finsh the story. But the us-american tv station turned thefirst two books in a tv mini series! But it seems, the series is only loosely based on the books, and Mrs Le Guin doesn't like it.
Right now I am spending almost 3 hours on a train every day and surely will find the time to read the whole story.
