On Elric and Earthsea: having read both, yeah I'm the same as you, I much prefer Earthsea. If you're open to another hopeful speculative fiction series of comparable quality as Earthsea (in my view), try Book of the Long Sun by Gene Wolfe (whom Le Guin described as "our Melville"). It's great - quirky, intricate, inspiring.
