I dig your blog. ...por la gran puta, don Cobras!! I dig your blog. and i mean, i dig in it, and i always find downloadable and readable shit. like today. (I'm guatemalan, i would so much like to write all this in spanish!)<br />i've downloaded a lot of material fromo IllCon. I visit this blog every day, since about two or three years. I've been into metal from around 1990, here in Guatemala (I even played in some bands during the 90s. By the way, there is a small underground metal scene here. i don't know if you care, but we've had, in the last 8-10 years, visits from morbid angel, obituary, destruction, sodom, kreator, exodus, cannibal corpse, deicide... even metallica came here two years ago. So did megadeth, some months later. But metal in Guatemala is not the subject of this comment). And i´ve been into Phil K. Dick since some five years ago. Not a common read, for us guatemalans,this Mr. Phil Dick. I've read almost all of his work, some books i've read more than once (most of it, translated into spanish, some of it in english; of course, it is always better in the language it was written). la onda, compadre, es agradecerle: muchas gracias!(excuse me for my fucked up english)<br />F.A.R.T.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645554669355760340.post-52575532654307895242011-06-26T07:54:45.966-07:002011-06-26T07:54:45.966-07:00my favorite Dick book is probably UBIK....the firs...my favorite Dick book is probably UBIK....the first time i read that, and when it was revealed what was really going on...it blew my fucking mind...i raved about it to every one i knew for weeks afterwards.....Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02672460715831262099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645554669355760340.post-44546671733221878342009-05-13T11:43:00.000-07:002009-05-13T11:43:00.000-07:00Jag -

Ch...Cyborg Biggus Dickus... Whoa. My mind = blown.<br /><br />Chris: Exegesis exceeds 8000 pages and is mostly a rambling documentation of various hallucinations and theological discussions. It is written mostly in shorthand and wouldn't serve as any sort of proper narrative (at least from what i understand)...<br />I think they best we could hope for is some sort of severely edited, condensed version put together by a trustworthy editor (if such a thing exists...).<br /><br />Actually, I did a little research, and a VERY, VERY slim selection of excerpts from "Exegesis" was published in 1991, under the name "In the Pursuit of VALIS: Selections from the Exegesis". More such excerpts have been planned, but to date have not seen the light of day.<br /><br />Alas.Shelby Cobrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04077451792653323915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645554669355760340.post-53000771409563210412009-05-12T13:52:00.000-07:002009-05-12T13:52:00.000-07:00Cyborg Biggus Dickus that is!Cyborg Biggus Dickus that is!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645554669355760340.post-72584370878492605732009-05-12T13:33:00.000-07:002009-05-12T13:33:00.000-07:00excellent article!Philip K.
