Still on a retro roll, now re-reading the 3rd part of Ursula K Le Guin's Earthsee I-dont-know-how-many-ology.
She's an amazing author. Might seem a little too tree-hugging and esoteric sometimes, but her heroes always have both feet firmly planted on the ground yet also have weakness, make mistakes, and reflect upon them, and they always have a social worldview.
Her language is simple but has a deep, ancient and lyrical feel to it.
