I had to read a Wizard of Earthsea for school and HATED it (probably because I was expecting it to be like harry potter ngl). However, every discussion I've seen online about the best fantasy series almost always includes Earthsea, so I was wondering if I was just too young to appreciate it and should revisit it. I've heard similar things for Jane Eyre, which I also found boring but found out it's apparently meant for middle-aged people.

Outstanding. You had teachers that cared. Out of that list, A Modest Proposal was recommended to me by a history teacher, and Gulliver's Travels was probably assigned reading at some point. I sought out the others on my own in my late teens.
