Six great novels you can read in one day

At the B&N Reads blog Jeff Somers tagged six great novels you can read in one day. One title on the list:
To Get Into a Speculative Mindframe: The Lathe of Heaven, by Ursula K. Le Guin

Time to Read: About three hours.

How she managed to come up with something as intriguing and mind-expanding as this story of a man who discovers that his dreams can alter reality, and do it in less than 200 pages, is anyone’s guess. To say the story doesn’t go anywhere near what you might expect is an understatement, to say the least.
