The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin. In near-future Portland a man discovers that his dreams can change reality and his psychiatrist takes the opportunity to exploit that. Under the guise of attempting to change things for the better, things actually take drastic turns for the worse. I enjoyed seeing precisely how things went differently than Haber wanted due to lack of specificity and the fact that you can't really control dreams or humanity.
Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsay. Three girls and a governess mysteriously disappear in 1900s Australia while on a picnic. I thought this was fine, but a classic idk. It was a trip to go back and read the preface that explained what the author considered to have happened. ( spoilers? )
In TV, I finished:
My Happy Marriage (season 2): Enjoyed it.
Etoile: New York and Paris ballets swap dancers/choreographers. Loved the dance sequences and Cheyenne and Tobais and Gabin. Would watch a season 2 but ( spoilers )
Andor (season 2): Okay, what can I say about Andor!! It was good. Maybe the fact that it was good is what's making me have so many nitpicky feelings about some things. The last arc has only been out like 2 days so ( spoilers )
Also I got to go to a theater production of Fiddler on the Roof and it was soo good! Clever and funny and heartbreaking. I knew very little of what it was about going in except that it was considered a great musical and I was holding back tears the whole second act.
