I read Ubik & A Scanner Darkly recently. Enjoyed the former far more. I've still not been able to emerse myself in Dick's writing style, which is probably why when I read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep some 25 years ago, I didn't care for it, as I was an even shittier reader then than I am now. Might come back to his other stuff, but those seem to be rated as his best, so not sure what that means for the others.
Going to read 2 non fiction books next, as they should be easy to rip through
Exposure about the Olympus scandal I'm about a 3rd of the way through. If you've not worked with Japanese in a business setting much, or dealt with Japanese bureaucracy in general the contents might be a bit shocking. Some things are probably exaggerated a bit but most of the outlandish stuff I have no problem believing.
True Crime Japan I've read a chapter of in the Kindle Book sample, and is about as fucked up as I'd expect it to be. All those weird stories from rural Japan that you hear? This is a documented look at them, by a western journalist, that sat in on their court hearings. While the contents of each case are outlandish and maybe shocking, I'm hoping to get a good analysis of the legal procedures which are far different in that backwards cuntry.
