Matto reviewed The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin
Review of The Futurological Congress (from the memoirs of Ijon Tichy)
4 stars
Very weird, but captivating story. Sometimes if fieels like some kind of drug-induced trip... Not like other books I have read from Stanislaw Lem at all. This is possibly not a book for every one, but in my opinion worthwhile to read. It is a short book.

Review of 'The Forever War'
5 stars
This book is listed as a SF-masterwork, so had to read it :) I enjoyed it, and like the way the relativity of time influences people during nterstellar travel. There are certainly sexistic elements in this book.

Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett
Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, and Maigrat have fairy godmother-dom thrust upon them.
Review of 'The Rediscovery of Man' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This book contains a number of short stories, that are chronological ordered, content wise.
So stories that play in an earlier time are positioned before stories that play in a later time.
For me, the greater part still reads as a book.
The writer is creates very original ideas and I loved reading it!

Wonderful, must read novel about friendship and human relations

This dystopian science fiction novel is about the life of three friends, from childhood until adults. it is more about friendship and human relations and less science fiction. But a wonderful book, that you must absolutely read!
Matto reviewed Year of the Monkey by Patti Smith
Weird, entertaining and beautiful written
4 stars
"The trouble with dreaming is that we eventually wake up"
This book is a kind of memoir of Patti of the year 2016. This was the year that lead to Trump's election and it was also, how fitting, the year of the monkey, according to the Chinese calendar.
At the beginning of the year a friend of Patti dies, and during the year another friend is slowly losing the battle against ALS. At the end of the year Patti turns 70 years old.
In the book the reality and dreamworld blend into each other.
I have highlighted a lot, there are many beautiful sentences in this book. I enjoyed reading this book!
