I've been seeing her name a lot lately in terms of good science fiction and fantasy. I feel like I've lost so much attention span in terms of my ability to read and stuff and I'd like to start getting back into it, perhaps starting with her (or Terry Pratchett lol).

If I start with her, what's a good place to start with her work?

I recently started with the Earthsea series and I'm halfway through. I'll start with the SciFi series when I finish the fantasy one.

I started with Earthsea because I read the original trilogy many years ago.

Nope. Get as far as you can of the "Earthsea" TV series. LeGuin enragedly denounced that travesty.

I was talking about the book series, I didn't know about the TV series. I do know about the movie, and if it's as bad as the movie I won't get close.

Ah, got it. I thought you meant the SciFi (later SyFy) Channel series.
