Do you want first person psychosis told through philip's imaginary third person friend or just sci-fi narrative?

I'd say read valis it's pretty entertaining.

:laughing:

Thanks.

I think it'd be best to start out with the sci-fi stuff.

Got it. Thanks.

The last thing I attempted reading was the original De-Loused in the Comatorium short story written by Cedric. I got about 3 pages in before hesistantly giving up

Look, I love Cedric. I love his writing style. The thing with that is, I can appreciate his writing being cryptic as it is (I scour over my In/Casino/Out booklet regularly), but I dare not ever try and decipher it. Thus, a conflict emerges.



I'd still really like to know what's going on though, because there's no way I'm reading 13 pages of that.

Scott's Blade Runner is to DADOES as is Kubrick's Shining is to King's novel.

Today I've decided that Joyce's Ulysses, hailed by scholarly critics as the most important literary work of the 20th century, has escaped my library long enough.

A friend generously presented me with a copy of Ulysses in Hand: The Rosenbach Manuscript published by The Rosenbach Museum and Library. The book compiles excerpts from Joyce's original handwritten manuscripts for the novel and served as my primary introduction to Ulysses.

Kevin Birmingham published a contextual examination of the text titled, The Most Dangerous Book which explores Joyce's Federal Obscenity Trial and the banning and burning of Ulysses in the US and in England.

Anthony Burgess described the book as "inimitable, and mad," and Joyce once said that he had "put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant."

What better book for an analytical fetishist like myself?

I've just purchased a fine leather bound Franklin Library first edition. Bound in russet cloth with leatherette spine. Gilt titles and decorations. Decorative epps, ribbon marker. All edges gilt; faux marbled endpapers; Illustrated by Kenneth Frances Dewey. Fine condition - a display copy from a smoke free home published in 1979.

Special thanks to my good friend for the inspiration!
