The personal weblog of Marc Zeedar.
Author: Philip K. Dick
This is one of Dick’s rare mainstream novels, which are among his best works. This one tells the story of a unique young lady in 1950’s Northern California as she struggles with existential issues and a disatisfied life. It’s remarkable in many ways, though the story’s simple and elegant, and it really captures life in the 50’s. I liked it a lot, but I’m a PKD fan — it might leave some people wanting more.
Topic: [/book] |
I'm Marc Zeedar, writer and dreamer. I'm interested in writing, technology, programming, soccer, philosophy, engineering -- pretty much anything creative.
In college I was given an assignment to write a mini-biography. Rather than do the traditional, I wrote mine as a chronological list of the influential books in my life, explaining what they meant to me (both at the time and later). This turned out even better than I expected -- the saying "you are what you eat" really ought to be "you are what you read." So I decided to do that with my blog: it's a journal of what I'm reading, seeing, thinking, with the occasional unusual event thrown in. Feel free to add comments!
