books 2010: The Lathe of Heaven, by Ursula K. Le Guin

[supercheesegirl]

A Le Guin novel I hadn't read yet! I'm running low on them now. This one was published back in the '70s (and my copy is pretty old, it says "Now a PBS drama special!" on the cover). It's about a man whose dreams can change the world, and the psychiatrist who tries to force him to make it better. I really liked it. Maybe even one of my favorite Le Guin novels. It's kind of small and unassuming (much like George Orr, our dreamer protagonist) but there's a lot in there. Highly recommended.

I'm amazed you had not read it! It is considered one of "Classics of Science Fiction" and from a woman at that ;)

How wonderful you had not read it yet :) It is so delightful to find an undiscovered book from a favorite authour. How much more the delight when that book is one of their best.
