Do you believe that Khaleesi from the Game of Thrones is a copy of Kalessin from the Earthsea novels..? (as a name and a character related with Dragons) I came to think that G.R.R. Martin copied some things from LeGuin's Earthsea, for example, Tehanu (half burned face) similar with Baratheon's daughter.. If you know any further information about the name Kalessin (or Khaleesi) as myth name or anything like that, please let me know! Kalessin first mentioned in "The Farthest Shore - 1972" -- Khaleesi first mentioned in "Game Of Thrones - 1991" !notice: I haven't read Martin's novels, only watched the series (in case I miss something)

“It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end.” I have heard it was Ernest Hemingway, but also that it was Ursula K. Le Guin that said it.

Could somebody who has read these books, and hopefully even more by her, list out the books in le guin's earthsea series? Do they have to be read in order? Which is the best? Just tell me something about them... Thanks.

What is the most popular Ursula K. Le Guin novel?

...a wonderful passage about The King being pregnant. Does anyone know the book well enough to tell me what chapter that's in?
