    Anything by Le Guin is soo good! Dispossessed is a particularly good one though. I read Lathe of Heaven earlier this year, and that was a fun ride.

    Freeking brilliant writing from Nabokov. His best work. I read laughter in the dark first and I was hooked. Lolita I feel is just. Overrated. But I love how he’s a bad narrator and you can’t count on his words because his actions are horrific. He’s not reliable. And ada novel, Nabokov included the name Flora on one minor character if I recall. It’s a throwback to another work he did. I think it was unfinished. But wow! Never met someone who mentions that book ever. Even my librarian

    A Memory called Empire is incredibly good! I feel Desolation doesn’t compare
