Book of the month





So i've got a goal to read at least one fictional book every month. I shall list them on the blog for future reference.

January - russian fairy tales
February - Flow my tears, the policeman said by Philip K. Dick
A good, quick read. Skip the epilogue, it ruins the rest of the book.
March - Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick
Good book with some very interesting concepts and themes, but the movie did a way better job at exploring the whole empathy theme.
April - Currently reading the Road.

I'm just on my way to the library to pick up another book, Con$umed, about how the current state of capitalism is detrimental to society. READ THAT TOO. Maybe we can start a bookclub, and within a year or so you'll start seeing "Potdana Approved" stickers on books, signifying they are of value to society. The Potdana logo will probably be a giddy panda high on drugs. I mean, that'd be the somewhat transparent picture for the background of the stickers.
