I just watched this little documentary on Ursula K. Le Guin. I never heard of her before this. Does the community have one or two books they recommend? (means.tv)

Let's say that I may only read one or two, as I'm not a prolific reader. What do you think I should get?

The classic is a wizard of earthsea/left hand of darkness and they are always worth repeating. If you do just two, those are them. It's almost criminal how these are kinda slipping beneath view these days.

I got a steady diet of her short stories and children's books growing up. I remember sur specifically, but generally they were less fantasy oriented from what I can remember. (Edit:huzzah autocorrect)
