I just found a beautiful hardcover copy of Wuthering Heights at a local bookstore- I've always meant to read it, but never got around to it. Now I can! Also, my wife got my Against the Day by Pynchon. Excited about that one, too.

A Wizard of Earthsea
Been playing a lot of RPGs lately and have been reading a lot of dystopian fiction so I thought I'd change it up and have a go at some of the 'fantasy canon' I didn't read as a teenager.
I'm maybe 1/3rd of the way through and it's not grabbing me. I think if I'd picked this book up at 12 I'd have read it in two sittings.
The subject matter is pretty typical of young adult fantasy but the prose is quite formal in the way it's written, seems almost too formal and adult for a story about a teenager with magic powers going to wizard school.
Where are you at exactly? I can't quite remember the pacing but I do remember that the last half of the book takes a pretty significant turn. I read it 5 years ago (at 26) and it seemed to hold up well. YMMV.
