I think perhaps I like a lot of disparate things in fantasy, so we might have overlapping tastes. I love Earthsea for the wonderful writing as much as anything else. Having constructed an encyclopedia for the universe, it's definitely thinner than say Tolkien. I can understand not caring for Dark is Rising; for me it stands up less well than the others to reading as an adult.
I really ought to try Bujold's fantasy universes, as I enjoy the Vorkosigan series, particularly the books that deal with Barrayar politics.
