Why? I'm technically reading it because it's assigned for my Media Aesthetics class. Luckily for me, it's also the best book I've ever read.

Thoughts: In the realm of my class, this book is pretty much perfect. It pretty much manages to include and play out every single theme we've looked at over the year, in a really incredible way. As for plot summary, I can't really say too much here because of the construction of the book. It's a postmodern novel, a good deal of which is written using the second person, kind of like some sadistic choose-your-own-adventure. It skips in and out of more conventional third person, though. I'd say the most important thing about this book is its ability to make you really consider your role as a reader.

Other book recommendations: The Sirens of Titan, The Awakening
