Hello dear readers! Today I'll share my review for  The Lathe of Heaven,  a novel by Ursula K. Le Guin. I've read this novel only a couple of days ago and it's still very fresh in my mind.

Le Guin is one of those writers I always come back to.   I've read, reviewed and enjoyed many of Le Guin's book, so when I spotted his one in a local library I didn't think twice.  Once I picked The Lathe of Heaven up, I had a hard time putting it down.

Summer is here. My 38th Summer.  Sometimes I wonderful how the years just seem to fly by.  At other times, I feel like I have lived  not one but at least a hundred lives.  Sometimes I feel like I'm at least 3800 years old.   Not in a bad way. Not entirely anyway. What do I feel this Summer?  How do I feel? Bittersweet. It's a bittersweet Summer. Everything has been bittersweet since Spring 2020. Everything has felt uncertain and unpredictable.  So uncertain that I feel no need to comment or elaborate on it. Let's focus on the sweet, then. Split city as beautiful as ever.

I'm trying to make the most out of my unpaid leave. I've taken a few days to just relax and unwind. My plans for the Summer are still undefined. Who knows where summer is going to take me?...
