A story about the near impossible task of navigating through space and the much more difficult task of navigating through human society, rules, and regulations.
If it weren't for the cornbread diet I'd advise Roscoe to go for it.
Oh man, Louisa is something! 😂
This goes back and forth a little too much but the ending was awesome.
Yeah, that's cool but not surprising. I have a ton of sci-fi and fantasy maps.
The stars were closed to Max Jones. To get into space you either needed connections, a membership in the Guild, or a whole lot more money than Max, the son of a widowed, poor mother, was ever going to have. What Max does have going for him are his uncle’s prized astrogation manuals—book on star navigation that Max literally commits to memory word for word, equation for equation.
Warnings never really work on me but part one is much better.
I'm on to part 2. The cattle drive has begun. It's really crazy that Call just got this idea into his head and dragged all these other guys along and they're not even sure why.

Earthsea is great. I'm hoping to get The Lathe of Heaven on the list next year.
Yeah, things get a little melodramatic.
I read it last night. It was okay but didn't really impress me like some of the others.

It’s definitely worth reading and the length of the book is kinda intimidating but well worth spending my days reading it."Definitely one of those classics that intimidates with it's length but totally worth reading.

Are you reading both parts? I'd like to know how you think they compare. Personally I thought the second part ruined it.
What a classic is will always be debated. The older I get the more fifty years doesn't seem that long ago.Professors and literati are always making up lists and I think they're doing pretty well now that they include world literature and things like pulp stories and comics.

Thanks. I'm reading slowly but really enjoying it.
