| I loved The Lathe of Heaven when I saw it on PBS back in the day. I recently rented it from the library. While it still seemed good to me, it didn't seem as great as I remembered it being. By far the best way to experience this story is to read it. |

Well done to the daffy. Actually, IMDb has "The Lathe of Heaven" for the 1980 version, and lacks the "The" in the subsequent version.
I too enjoyed it 'way back then. JorJor (George Orr) does as well as he can with his "gift"-- better than I would, I think. |

jeremy: If you can't take the pressure of associating with really superior people and handling extremely difficult intellectual challenges, then this is not the place for you.

Marilyn -
I agree that LeGuin's book is terrific. I couldn't make it through The Left Hand Of Darkness, though. |
