The Fall of Hyperion (Hyperion Cantos, #2)

Rick
Rick is on page 80 of 230 of Mostly Harmless (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, #5)
I’ve only read Mostly Harmless once, as opposed to the other Hitchhiker’s books. That is making this an even greater treat; being further from memory is making it all the more enjoyable.

The opening chapter is one of the best descriptions of bureaucracy in business I’ve ever read!

Rick
Rick is on page 90 of 240 of Executive Presence: The Missing Link Between Merit and Success
With good examples and relevant application, this book maintains a comfortable distance from the usual business book templates. There are a significant number of anecdotes that tend toward tedious. You either like that style or have to sift through it for a few good nuggets of conventional wisdom.

Already makes more sense than the movie. Will watch again once I'm done. I've been promised it is great if you've read it first.

Outstanding and marvelous read so far. Already a favorite science fiction novel. The writing is tight and carries sophisticated ideas while almost self-consciously avoiding pretentions.

Rick is finished with Infinite Jest
Finishing this book will take time to absorb. Like my near sprint run through the Louve; too much to see, and much of it past my comprehension. This book carries a lot of pain and a sharp eye for human frailty. And yet our stubborn desire to try... really hard, as best we can.

Infinite Jest

Rick
Rick is on page 121 of 199 of Life, the Universe and Everything (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy #3)
Even better than I remember it. Having, it must be assumed, read it at least once before. Or, failing this, thought myself to have read it at least once before for purposes of comparison and finding, as it were, the second so called reading to have been superior.

Some of the moments in this book will hauntingly persist in my mind for a very long time.

Infinite Jest

Rick
Rick is finished with High-Rise
Excellet, albeit dark, novel about the decline of civilization. Not the one that happens when the lights go out. Rather the civilization that we thought we had, that we lost, and only discover this fact once the utilizes stop working.

Movie is released May 13. Dark socal commentary apt for this day and age.

I am thoroughly enjoying the setting and characters of High Rise. The pace is, so far, brisk and the action steady.

Rick is 16% done with Infinite Jest
It has been effort together this far, and as with all good writing, that effort has been rewarded. As dense as it is chaotic and picturesque, I have really enjoyed Infinite Jest so far.

Rick is 57% done with The Man in the High Castle
Reading this in anticipation of the Original Amazon series. I've read other alternate history before. This one is very well done and so far one of PKD's best.

Rick
Rick is on page 95 of 162 of Silent Hill: The Terror Engine
A very ambitious academic thesis on the Silent Hill game series as horror art, this novel is a bit dense to read, but uncovers some of the deeper thematic nature and references within the games.
