The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin

3.0

Perhaps I wasn't in the right headspace for sci-fi, but I found The Lathe of Heaven to be interesting yet profoundly unenjoyable, beautiful though Le Guin's prose may be. It reads more like a moral thesis illustrated through fiction, and while the questions of greater good / playing God / relationship between identity and memory are surely fascinating to consider, I didn't feel it was enough to keep me engaged. Definitely a smart book; an enjoyable one -- not so much.
