#Aliensexist for the poor comatose protagonist of this bizarre and captivating Doris Lessing novel. While two doctors known as Doctor X and Doctor Y argue over the patient's treatment regimen, he's having great adventures in his brain- aliens are only one of quite a few strange occurrences. #90sinJuly @Robothugs @Cinfhen

Cinfhen This one may be too sci-fi for me! 7y
Leftcoastzen It's on my TBR! Love that old, beat up mass market. 7y
Billypar @Cinfhen I'm not really a sci-fi person either. This is more fantasy if anything- the aliens are only a small part. @Leftcoastzen Those are fun, right? I once almost bought a copy of Nabokov's Ada that was marketed as a romance novel, complete with pink pages 😄 7y
