Valis 95 reviews Philip K. Dick
Vintage, 1991
An important work
+ NOT a book about madness, sadistic games, deception, pain + PKD's finest book in my opinion
This novel is to me one of those things that you want people to understand, you want people to see in it the same things you do. It hurts me that this thing that I love so might be considered insignificant to someone else. Such is the nature of our experiance. VALIS will expose you to many ...

Harvest Books, 2004
Best Book I've read in a LONG time
+ Loved it!
I absolutely loved this book. I abandoned all of my responsibilities for two days so that I could read The Time Traveler's wife without stopping. I have now recommended it to everyone I know. It's a little confusing in the beginning, but a good confusing, because the author makes you want to ...

Male Fantasies, Volume 1: Women, Floods, Bodies, History (Theory and History of Literature, Volume 22) 3 reviews Klaus Theweleit
University of Minnesota Press, 1987
fascism is psychoanalysis in reverse
+ Eye-Opening Cultural Study, both in method and results. + Richly and persuasively detailed history
Examines fascism as a Reichian phenomenon gone awry - the fascist male experiences ego-dissolution in early infancy, finds it threatening, and so builds for himself a "body armor" within which are contained such "female" traits and emotions (unaknowledged) as weakness, fear, guilt, etc. Through ...

Charles Mackay Extraordinary Popular Delusuions and the Madness of Crowds
+ A fun and easy read on the stupidity of people + A classic must-read! Very, very insightful!
Thank you for sending me this book. In fact, because of an administrative mixup, I received two, but I shall be giving the second one to one of my friends. I had never suspected that any person writing as early as 1852 had viewed the large scale adoption of religeous or financial convictions in ...

Altered States 72 reviews William Hurt, Blair Brown
Warner Home Video, 2004
Tripping Down Memory Lane...
+ The Electric Mushroom Soup Test + Awesome Movie
I'm not a big Ken Russell fan. I've found his movies to be a mixed bag of nuts. However, ALTERED STATES is Russell's most coherent and, to me anyway, enjoyable film. It's a love story of sorts, wrapped in the trappings of sci-fi and hallucination. William Hurt is quite believable as Eddie Jessup, a ...
