Dr. Futurity by Philip K. Dick, found it in a bookstore and it's one of the last on my list of his work that I haven't read yet. Morbid and intriguing, but that's PKD for you. Also finished The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula Le Guin, was curious after reading her Dispossessed; this one takes an interesting approach to sexuality.

I just finished Neuromancer by William Gibson. Great cyberpunk read. :)
Amen. I discovered Gibson through my utopian literature class, of all places, and promptly got some recommendation lists from that professor, heh.

For the two of you who just finished the Count of Monte Cristo, did either of you see the movie? I didn't actually read Dumas til after having seen the movie, and I found that I enjoyed them for very different reasons...

Turkey coma is a good time to get more reading done. We by Yevgeny Zamyatin. More utopian literature, with a detached narrative that gives the situation a neat twist. I certainly understand now why people were recommending it in the utopia thread!

The Clan of the Cave Bear. It was alright, though a lot of it seems like it was just copied out of a Paleolithic almanac. Lots of long passages describing ancient vegetation and animals, passages that seem to go on and on. Still, it's kind of neat to imagine what life and society was like back then.
Oh man. I remember Auel's The Valley of the Horses was one of the first novels I read in middle school. While I found those descriptions fascinating, I was definitely not ready for the multiple passages of "Neanderthal porn." Yikes.
