The Exegesis!

Wonderful news! PKD's Journals are going to be published! Theres still going to be quite a wait as they are scheduled to be published in autumn 2011, but Im still ecstatic that PKD is still as popular as ever and things we all want are getting published! Read the full article:

Im just dropping by after what seems to have been a long Sci-Fi reading hiatus. Being incredibly busy at university and having essays (and therefore reading) about Gender Stereotypes I have had little time to pick up any PKD of late.
My collection of reading material is still continuing to expand slowly, recently I aquired 'Flow my tears, the policeman said' and 'Second Variety', so my 'To Read' pile is building ever higher!
Something I was happy to note recently during a trip to Waterstones was more reprints of SF Masterworks novels. Greeted by a large promotional stand (which I did think would look lovely in my room full of PKD books) full of slightly psychodelic reprints with white spines. I was thrilled that the demand for PKD is finally being met in some way, however I did feel a slight dissapointment that I might have to avoid these white spined monstrosities as they will look dreadfull wedged in with my blackspined collection (an aesthetic snob I know, but they were rather garish.). I just hope that all this reprinting and promotion helps bring PKD back to the masses and gets future generations aprechiating PKD (even though in the future his novels will ironically be historical fantasies).
