I intend to read these books in 2013 if it means these are the only books I read for that year.

“There exists, for everyone, a sentence - a series of words - that has the power to destroy you. Another sentence exists, another series of words, that could heal you. If you’re lucky you will get the second, but you can be certain of getting the first.”

Jonathan Lethem and Steve Erickson: The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick

Philip K. Dick was a masterful author. Even if you do not enjoy Science Fiction, Dick is an author you cannot ignore. You’ve probably already seen his work on the screen: Blade Runner, Minority Report, Paycheck, among others. The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick is a collection that was found in his files. The papers themselves are his lifework on what he thought things meant, how things work, what he thought life meant. In this radio broadcast, these guys do a great job of discussing the work.
