OT - Earthsea by LeGuin

I don't know if any of you are familiarr with Ursula LeGuin's Earthsea Trilogy.  A friend gave it to me many years ago and I loved it.  This one is fantasy, but it led me to read a lot of her science fiction.

Anyway, SciFi Channel is doing a mini-series of it.  It will be in 2 parts - Dec. 13 and 14.  I think it just covers the first 2 books.  I never heard of the actor portraying Ged, Shawn Ashmore, but others in the case include Danny Glover as Ogion, Kristin Kreuk (Lana from "Smallville") as Tenar and Isabella Rossellini as Thar.  The other ones listed I haven't heard of:  Sebastian Roche, Jennifer Calvert, Chris Gauthier and Mark Hildreth.

By now I had such vague recollections of it that I've been re-reading it, so I thought I'd give advance notice in case anyone else would want to read it first.
