I reread Ursula K LeGuin's Earthsea Trilogy during a really difficult time in my life. I hadn't read them since I was a teenager. They are simple to read, but deep, with themes of regret and hopelessness but also perseverance and grace. I find her attitude toward her characters to be both brutally honest and compassionate. I think I got more out of reading these books as an adult at that time, although they were among my favorite books as a kid.
