This week I crammed in both Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick, and The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson. I was volunteering for the Red Cross and had an overnight shift, so I got a lot of reading done then. It’s nice to finish books way before they’re due back at the library. But I’m getting tired of stories about robots. Reading The Diamond Age made me want to go back to some Victorian literature for a while.

I already do read a book a week, but it will be more difficult now that school’s started. Right now, I’m reading a lot of books about robots, androids and cyborgs for a class I’m taking.
This week’s book: Neuromancer, by William Gibson.
I thought the subject was interesting, but I couldn’t connect to the author’s prose—at all, really. This meant that I often knew what he was trying to describe, but I felt it just wasn’t happening in the text itself.
