Read that in anticipation of the Amazon series?BDK wrote:Just finished Man in a High Castle...
Phillip K Dick was obviously talented, but it seems to be more... Involved than his other work. There seemed to be a much more complex story there, compressed into something which approaches a rough sketch- but worth reading.
Whatcha reading redux.

Re: Whatcha reading redux.
Recently read a couple of great books on abnormal sociology (sort of an oxymoron):
Sex Trouble, by Robert Stacy McCain ("The Other McCain"), and
SJWs Always Lie, by Vox Day
So, as a palate cleanser, I'm starting Larry Correia's latest series-starter, Son of the Black Sword.

Manalive, by G.K Chesterton. I've been on an early 20th century binge lately between Chesterton and Wodehouse.

Memoirs of a Superfluous Man by Albert J. Nock concurrently with some collection of Heinlein stories.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

Manalive! wasn't very good. The next work of Chesterton's that I picked up, The Flying Inn, could have been written this year and not 1914.

Presently reading The Wise Man's Fear, Rothfuss's second book in his Kingkiller Chronicle. It's good.
