    The Lathe of Heaven was so freaking good. I'm so glad it was my introduction to Le Guin this month!

    I am SO HAPPY that you loved The Power of the Dog 🔥 such an insane book
    What a great reading month you had!

      The book is so good! More people need to read it.

    What a packed month!! Love all the cool niche stuff you read-I desperately need to get into Le Guin’s sci-fi.
    Love your Glen Cook completionist project, very much something I’d do too-finding these random standalones that no one reads is 🔥 even if they end up disappointing 😅

      This was a wild month. This whole "mood reading" thing is quite the rollercoaster 😂
      One of the best parts of The Lathe of Heaven was George Guidall's narration. I loved it so much. I think you would like it.
      Cook's standalones have been less than stellar so far but I will refrain from making a final judgment until I read the last four.
      It is strange. I can see how some people would love each standalone but they just weren't for me.

    Confederacy of Dunces. I've heard of that title but I know nothing about the book. I'm looking forward to seeing the video that you plan on doing about it or it's reviews. Thank you -James

      I have a video I made where I talk about the book. It was one of my reading projects for April.

    DO NOT read outlawed by Anna North in your western era. God, that book was horrid.
