The Lathe of Heaven

Well. Dreams have always fascinated me, the random pieces of our lives and subconscious that insinuate themselves into our dreams. Things we fear, things we wish for, and people who are dead in life but live on in our dreams. In this novel, we have a mild-mannered, seemingly ineffectual man, but whose dreams mean business. That is to say, when he dreams, a different reality is spawned and remains after waking. The space/time/dream continuum has never been trickier. Sanity is shaken. Sci-fi is not my go-to genre by any means, but I'm happy to have made an exception here.

George Orr's expansive dreams definitely mean business!

You're right about exceptions, it never hurts to see about expanding our reading horizons. Thank you, JanB!

Same here, pleased to have made this particular exception. Your review of this was so entertaining. Chock o' block with fun stuff. I wouldn't have figured you for an abacus man. Ha! Thank you so much, Kevin.

Fab review, ZT! Le Guin is definitely worthy of making those exceptions. Can't wait to read this one :)

True life right now is close enough to a nightmare for my taste. In this book, it would be referred to as enduring reality. Thanks, Peter!
