Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Philip K Dick
Man - that brings back memories! Great conceptual
work if not the basis to a great Film - Bladerunner
I will now have to re-read that one just for the
giggles.
Though if you are interested on a more
serious/melo-dramatic/sociological-if not very boring
if you're forced to read, try "Sister Carrie" by
Theodore Dreiser; published 1900.
I picked up the book last year - on it's hundredth
year anniversary - just because. Personally, the book
gets long winded at times, by the over all concepts
are very interesting.
Basic Premise: country girl goes to the city and makes
it big - plain and simple. It how the story happens,
how different the world of 1900 is to a young
un-experienced woman and yet how very similiar today's
world is.
Not a book I would classify as a light read, but a
necessary one.
But that's just my option.
