Wow i’m bored…
This always happens during finals week… I get finished with my hardest final and i’m stuck in a sense of limbo. I study for my other finals but over all i’m kind of in a daze. And like a bulldozer, finals continue on heedless of what they destroy.
I have positive impressions of my progress right now.
I’m reading valis by Philip K. Dick. no impression as of yet.
Horselover fat, aka Ron, can you answer this for me.
Within the book, HLF and the narrator split in the second chapter. In the first there is this allusion to them being the same person. He switches from first to third person through the first chapter, but in the second chapter (or part) he talks about how the narrator ‘does’ things with HLF on a regular basis. Now of course this would appear to be obvious seeing as HLF and the narrator are one, but it appears to be arguing that they are two. I’m confused, but not to terribly.

All will be made clear. Or not. Be patient. Ron. (Glad to see your reading it, now there’ll be someone else who knows what I’m talking about when I make a “zebra” or a “king felix” reference.)

I love PKD, but haven’t read that one. When you’re done, make sure to let us all know your overall impression of it.
