i hit the library on my lunch break and picked up white light/white heat: the velvet underground day by day. i'm so excited.

(i also hit the coffee shop, bought an overpriced but delicious mocha. the mocha eventually ended up hitting me. all over my shirt. grand.)

Just about done with the PKD short story collection.
One thing that was unexpected was the unrelenting misogyny. Men hate their wives and women in general; Women are of little value beyond domestic help and gratification, they are helpless, their intellect is inferior. The one exception to all this doesn't count for much as she is a paranoid schizophrenic. This is all played entirely straight with no attempt to subvert such 1950s/1960s sterotypes.

That's a really interesting point, and one that i'd not noticed in pkd when i read him. now that you mention it though it does seem very true.

Lamont Cranston · 09.22.2009, 09:54 PM

Yeah, its not being coy about it like Mad Men.

Sonic Youth 37 · 09.22.2009, 10:36 PM

Just finished The Rum Diary and am now on chapter 8 of Darkly Dreaming Dexter.

krastian · 09.22.2009, 10:39 PM

Are those Dexter novels played out in the tv series or are they completely different stories?

I see people checking them out at work, but don't really have any interest in reading stuff that happens on the show.....don't have enough time/have a stack of books I need to read.

Can't wait for the new season!

Sonic Youth 37 · 09.22.2009, 10:42 PM

The seasons pretty much follow the plot of the books loosely. I'm only 1/4 of the way into this one and it's much more detailed and has very different tone than that of the series.

krastian · 09.22.2009, 10:48 PM

That's what I figured.
