when I first saw the film of "A Scanner Darkly" I wasn't too impressed tbh - but having read the book I've re-watched the film a couple of times and like it a lot more now. Philip K **** was a genius....

hmmmm - looks like d!ck is a banned word - even if it's somebody's name....

the book is majorly depressing

the film is as well, but there's some nifty rotoscoping and the fuzzy suit is great - one of the rotoscoped faces is actually of PKD himself - Keanu pulls it off, for once

Cinderella Ate My Daughter - Peggy Orenstein

Really intriguing perspective on the girly girl culture. It covers how it all started and how the media is marketing directly to children... Creepy stuff, but really fascinating. It's probably not for everyone, I'm in the child development field so it relates directly to my education/line of work.

Also a handful of books for school pertaining to mythology and religion, as well as another handful of young adult/teen books that have yet to be released (I get special privileges because of my other job ).

Does this other "job" involve offloading delivery trucks while wearing a ski mask?

This book is seriously the tits. It's around 1500 pages in rather small font with a multitude of short stories and novellas from pretty well-known authors.

It's got the likes of Jean-Paul Sartre, Kurt Vonnegut, Albert Camus, William Faulkner, Virginia Woolf, Shirley Jackson...the list goes on and on and on.

REALLY good stuff. I am so glad I happened upon this book. It's old as dirt, and is apparently supposed to be a textbook, but it's really good reading.
