As a nine year old I thought the Death Eaters were meant to be like the Nazis, but I guess Rowling is so dumb she didn't make the connection until after she wrote them?

These two are people I read and realize I barely know English. Like their command of the language is so good I wish I could do anything with such skill as they write.
I also get that impression from Le Guin's work. I wish I'd found her as a child. I remember that the only author I ever read who struck me that way as a kid was Tolkien. I recently read The Left Hand of Darkness and I was like "oh yeah, this is what it felt like to be sitting under my covers 2 hours past my bed time struggling to appreciate the work of a master of the English language"
Been rereading Tolkien and Its clear why they're classics. Writting generally stands above even with it's flaws. But it really gotta read Le Guin. Every book I've read is great yet I've missed many
