Parable of the Sower | Octavia E. Butler

My goodness, why did it take me so long to read this book? It may be the best dystopian novel I‘ve ever read. Compelling and thoughtful, I love how Butler gradually reveals this world through the characters and how complex and flawed they are while still making them redeemable. I‘m waiting for the next book, so happy Butler was chosen for #AAM @Soubhiville

Soubhiville That‘s great! You‘ve made me want to read it! 3h
zezeki This has been on my TBR for a while, but I am a little scared to read it currently. 😅 3h

The Angeles air was quiet, and for a while I lay still listening to the sound of Maxon‘s breathing. It was getting harder and harder to catch him in a truly calm and happy moment, and I soaked up the time, grateful that he seemed to be at his best when he and I were alone.

In a dystopian world where a virus has made animal meat inedible, humans are now bred as game and “special meat.” Marcos works at a processing facility, and as his personal life seems to be falling apart, he begins to question the society he exists in.

Spent 90% of the book, feeling sick to my stomach with the same creepy uneasy I get whenever I read Lord of the Flies. But the ending was perfectly done, and I‘m not sure what that says about me.

Reggie Omg, because of this book years ago, I went vegan for 6 months. When I gave it to my dad to read he said it was hard for him to eat meat for a couple of months. He let thinking about where the meat came from. Soo good this book! 16h

Now that was a good ending. I think the last books of the original series were better than the beginning for sure. Often unsettling and weird but definitely entertaining. I was glad that the author gave some of the characters as decent of an ending as he could with everything they went through in the FAYZ.

"In the year 2025, the best men don't run for president, they run for their lives... "
I love it when dates line up like this ?
In a dystopian version of the US, Ben is desperate for money for his sick daughter. He is so desperate that he volunteers for the running man game, a game no one has ever won ?‍⬛

The Lathe Of Heaven | Ursula K. LeGuin

Wow! 🤯 It doesn‘t get much better than Le Guin, IMO. This book reminded me a little of PKD only it made sense because it was UKLG. 😜

What would you do if you knew your dreams could affect reality? Unfortunately I think most of us would try to use this to our advantage as the terrifyingly normal Dr. Haber does. Who would wish such power away like George Orr?

A great (and short) philosophical novel hidden in an entertaining SciFi story.

vivastory I think that this was my first Le Guin and it blew my mind in the way that the best SF can. Still holds a special place in my heart. 1d
Ruthiella @vivastory My first Le Guin was A Wizard of Earthsea which I didn‘t jive with. But the I read Left Hand of Darkness and was blown away. 1d
vivastory I haven't read Earthsea, but I only have 2 novels remaining in the Hainish Cycle & think it's absolutely brilliant. 19h

Reggie I have more nightmares than dreams so this would be a no go. I‘ve slept with the Antichrist, I‘ve been burned alive in a mall restroom as a white girl (I don‘t know why I was a white girl), and I‘ve seen the nuclear bomb as it hits through a window at work. lol but this review is great and intrigues me. Stacked! 16h
Ruthiella @Reggie My nightmares are usually more along the lines of a never ending house where all the rooms are unfamiliar. 😱 I hope you like this book when/if you get to it! 🤞 (edited) 16h
AnishaInkspill I really want to read this, on my tbr 11h
Ruthiella @AnishaInkspill I hope you like it when/if you get a to it. Le Guin‘s books tend to really make me think, which I appreciate. (edited) 4h
