The Talented Winfrey Family's H.P. Lovecraft Book Club

Alex was right about April bringing some great things. Of course, as he mentioned, there's the Baby Mountain premiere and our brand-new film club. Also, Friend of TTWF Lauren is in Ohio this week! And IF YOU CAN HANDLE MORE, it's time for a new selection in our book club. But first, a little about our February/March selection, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick.
As Alex mentioned, our various clubs and projects are usually attempts to diversify our entertainment selections. I'm not a big science-fiction person--I mean, I grew up watching Star Wars and Alien with Alex and Dad, but those were basically just action movies in space. Also, it should be noted that the ONLY thing I remember about Alien is my dad saying, "There's a little Ripley butt crack," when Sigourney Weaver is fighting aliens in her underwear. Unfortunate but true. Regardless, I ended up really loving DADOES. Perhaps the word "unputdownable" is thrown around too often these days (it's not), but this book was unputdownable! I wouldn't want to ruin the story for anyone, so I won't divulge any plot points. I was going to share a short Philip K. Dick bio, but you all have Wikipedia. I will, however, point this out:
"Dick was "resurrected" by his fans in the form of a remote-controlled android designed in his likeness. The android of Philip K. Dick was included on a discussion panel in a San Diego Comic Con presentation about the film adaptation of the novel, A Scanner Darkly. In February 2006, an America West Airlines employee misplaced the android's head, and it has not yet been found."
I would recommend NOT checking out that android's picture on Dick's wikipedia page. It actually scared me a little.

Next month's TTWF H.P. Lovecraft Book Club pick is Snow Angels by Stewart O'Nan. I'm really excited about this one, even though Lexie's warned me it's going to be a downer (he's seen the movie, starring Mr. Sam Rockwell).
