From: Paul Fuqua <PF@MIT-XX> A point somewhat related to the problem of finding a good starting story for someone unfamiliar with speculative/science fiction: In a discussion about "The Lathe of Heaven" (Ursula K LeGuin) last week, one of my friends mentioned that he used that book as a test of a person's possible acceptance of sf. If they couldn't handle the concept of dreams actually changing the perceived reality, they would likely find most sf not to their tastes. pf
