I want to post and talk about things, but I have nothing to talk about. Ask me things, please. Fandom-y things, not fandom-y things, whatever. And I will talk about them.
I love her so much. The Earthsea books are so beautiful--they're slow, but I love the atmosphere they create. And I love how much I dislike Ged at the beginning of the first book and how I come to love him.
Have you read The Left Hand of Darkness? I've started it, but haven't really gotten into it yet.
Ha ha - Left Hand is one of those books that, ten years ago, I decided I wasn't old enough for yet. I believe fandom has since cured me, but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. It's on the list, though!
Actually, I love certain of her short stories more than I love any of her novels (although I always at least enjoy the novels).
It occurs to me that you might be interested in Lavinia, about the woman Aeneus married in The Aenid? It's partly one of those "the woman's perspective" stories, but it also involves a fascinating dream-relationship between Lavinia and Virgil himself. I think the combination of female-centric story and meta-story might intrigue you.

Yeah, I don't tend to be a short story fan, but I love hers. She's on the shortlist of writers whose short stories I always love.
That sounds interesting! I haven't read that one yet, but I'll add it to my list!
