I will be the devil's lawyer here. There have always been prolific authors and slower writers. Philip K Dick banged them out, but Walter Tevis couldn't. Consider also that 40-70s novels were often smaller. A lot of novels from this era are barely two hundred pages.

If in doubt, go by the cover.

Even if this is not a copypasta, and it takes an imagination to believe so, what are you getting at by making this post - do you mean to express the idea that people read for escapism, and to identify this as a reason for reproach? If so, I should expect to find a similar post in /tv, /v, /hc, any board concerned with a medium or hobby. In any case, you're a shitter.

Well, any shoddy concept has the potential for good writing, if the writer is upto it. Theodore Sturgeon wrote all about brain evolution in More Than Human, which is a good book, but I prefer The Dreaming Jewels.

Le Guin's Lathe Of Heaven is a standalone SF, which is why I chose to read that one first. I liked it a lot, imagine a feminine PKD with better prose. I can't speak for her other books.
