A Wizard of Earthsea

I'm not sure how I ended up in a fantasy book club, and whether or not I'll stay in the club, but I was a good and social book clubber and read this. It reaffirmed my affinity for most other genres. I don't really understand or care about fantasy, so I won't rate this book. It reminded me of Moby Dick in that we spent a long time on a boat to get to one important point: that we must confront and accept our darkness to be whole humans and therefore live for ourselves, “never in the service of ruin, or pain, or hatred, or the dark.”
I did discover the magic of listening to slow or plodding audiobooks at 1.25 speed, so something good came of this :)
