I gave Earthsea a try recently. Got through two and a half of the books before losing interest. Nothing seems to happen in those tales, and they move at the pace of a Swedish film. Frankly, give me LotR for satisfaction of the mature reader -- and HP, all seven books, for the less mature. Also for the slightly better love scenes.

1984 and Lord of the Flies were teenage fare for me. Fear Of Flying was not an erotic novel. It was a neurotic novel. For erotic, give me Phil Foglio any day.
