I’m about halfway through Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
I was expecting a pulp sci-fi novel that I would easily tire of but it’s actually an excellent book. I’ve rediscovered science fiction and I’m a convert to Philip K.Dick.
I’m also pretty close to pre-ordering Against the Day, Thomas Pynchon’s new novel. I’ve never been much of a fan of his but somehow I feel drawn to his latest. I keep returning to the Amazon website and hovering the cursor over ‘pre-order this item’. Now’s the time to decide whether he really is as good as they say, or if I still think it’s a case of the emperor’s new clothes…
