... mind up which! Runners-up: The Complete Robot by Isaac Asimov The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin Empire Star by Samuel Delany (it's a bit short to be called a novel though... and I didn't like Babel-17 that much to nominate ...

... were much less impressed. It brings to mind Ursula K. LeGuin, who has written books like Left Hand of Darkness and Lathe of Heaven that are not traditional sci-fi novels, but LeGuin uses a sci-fi stage for her characters and convictions. IMHO PS As I noted above, my favorites are Bl ...

#31 Le Guin is quite a variable author for me. The Dispossessed and Lathe of Heaven are among my favourite SF novels, but Left Hand of Darkness... It's currently one of the top ten recommended novels in the "newcomer to SF list", but I cannot see why at all - the three gender idea was okay, ...

... -- technically sci-fi but so much more than that. She had a huge influence on my intellectual development, especially Lathe of Heaven

I think someone already said it ... The Lathe of Heaven was done by PBS and Ursula Le Guin was interviewed on the DVD ... great flick. Yes it is worth watching ... it is mind-bending. It is not one of the movies I directed. :)

... imaginative beyond anything found at your table day to day. Two of the great movies IMO are Slaughterhouse Five and The Lathe of Heaven .. where do you find this in 'literature'?

The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin

... the glowing praises heaped upon it by Dorothy Sayers, whose Lord Peter books are, on the whole, more satisfactory. The Lathe of Heaven was my second by Ursula Le Guin, after Lavinia (which I liked very much indeed), and while it reminded me of The Man in the High Castle for some ...

... definitely give The Left Hand of Darkness a try and then The Dispossessed...they're very good. Some people love The Lathe of Heaven; I merely enjoyed it. I enjoyed Rocannon's World and Planet of Exile. However, I read them 35 years ago, so my opinion isn't that current. Obvio ...

... and several LT fans have recommended it, so I'm willing to try. I recently watched two very different versions of LeGuin's The Lathe of Heaven and wow! What a difference directors and casts can make (not to mention screenwriters).

... target="_blank">INTJ Writers? One person thinks Ursula K. LeGuin (The Dispossessed, The Lathe of Heaven, etc.) is INTJ. Since she's one of my favourite writers, I'd love to think she's one of us.

I actually like lathe of heaven over left hand of darkness. It would be really interesting to contrast lathe with a canticle for leibowitz as examples of religion as an influence on science fiction. From left field, it might be worthwhile to evaluate Grass by Tepper, although I'd be ...

I have not seen it, but I would love to! I'll have to look into it. Lathe of Heaven was one of those books that left me speechless. I think I need to do a reread...soon!

#37 - I thought Lathe of Heaven was amazing! My son suggested it to me and literally could not put it down.

Tepper's The Gate to Women's Country and Lathe of Heaven are good ones. Although many of Tepper's novels are post-apocalyptic. I also consider Gibson's Neuromancer trilogy to be dystopian.

36. The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin Very thought-provoking and interesting book. 37. Parable of the Sower by Ocatavia E. Butler Again with the thought-provoking dystopia. This one was much scarier than The Lathe of Heaven, with an easy-to-see future of hyper-inflat ...

... the time, just out of nowhere. I checked it out from the library, but I may have to go buy it sometime. I am reading The Lathe of Heaven now, and loving it, too.

... so I don't try really hard to figure these mysteries out. I enjoy the characters and the way James writes. I am reading The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin now. Very good, and short--I'll finish it today.

Coming in late to the thread... I remember PBS's TV-movie of The Lathe of Heaven and thought it was very faithful to the novel. (The adaptation, and not the book, is to blame for my lasting association of the song "With A Little Help From My Friends" with giant alien turtles.) Also, I don't ...

I did enjoy the Earthsea books, but The Lathe of Heaven is my favorite Le Guin book.

... why they lack the popularity of Earthsea, some readers are put off by this. ps...I've always had a soft spot for The Lathe of Heaven, it raises some very interesting ideas but doesn't hang together as well as her other major works.

... those, too ... it really reminded me of some classics I forgot the first time I saw this discussion ... Book of Skulls, Lathe of Heaven, Blood Music ... I guess it just goes back to my enjoying scifi more than fantasty.

I've been on a sci-fi kick recently, so the line of reasoning is fairly easy to see. Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin, which jumped right up to being one of my favorite works of science fiction the moment I finished it. Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham, which is a psuedo-cla ...
