I started Earthsea many years ago, not sure why I never returned to it. More recently I found The Dispossessed, and found it absolutely brilliant.

Also, "The Word For World Is Forest". It had a foreword, and I was thinking "okay, can we get to the story now?", but there was a second foreword. I sighed and almost skipped it, but it said "written by the author". And it was so perfectly written, and so interesting... I didn't know it was possible to write that well! The book itself was great too, but the foreword... okay I'll shut up now and go re-reading it.
