After naming
Philip K. Dick's "The Divine Invasion" one of my
top ten books, decided to re-read it; the last time I'd done so was 2½ years ago. Later went to 2 movies--"Double Jeopardy" and "Bowfinger", and seen through the
prism of "The Divine Invasion" (or thoughts about it), they were
brain-rotting
trash. Also saw the trailer of "
Mission Impossible 2":
far fuckin' out. Afterwards, walking through the city, every storefront and building seemed to carry exhortations to buy or consume some
junk or other to distract oneself from
reality. Am gonna re-read "VALIS" next, who knows what effect that'll have on me.
Was in a bookshop yesterday, and as usual flipped through a copy of former NME writer Julie Burchill's autobiography, "I Knew I Was Right". I want to do a node on the book, but that'd mean reading it properly, and I just don't want to spend my pennies buying it.
