A student really wanted me to read Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said by Phillip K. Dick because he's doing an independent study on PKD. I think I'm going to have to read some more stuff by this guy. This particular book is a little... sloppy in the way it's put together. Sort of reminds me of Pynchon in that you have to infer lots and lots of meaning and reality, like putting together a puzzle from subtle little hints and clues the author leaves you. I'm not sure I'm particularly buying the world that PKD is selling in this book, but it's interesting anyway.
