I should do that too! There are a lot of things I want to reread, but never get around to.
I love "The Wizard of Earthsea" so I'm probably not the best person to judge the series objectively, but many people have told me that they hugely prefer "The Tombs of Atuan" and that it's unfortunate that people feel they have to read "Wizard" first, as it puts them off from reading "Atuan". "Atuan" is much more character driven, and has a more appealing main character (a young woman called Tenar), and is set in one place rather than being something of a travelogue. Ged is a character in "Atuan", but he's much older and wiser than in "Wizard".
