I love Dick

Picking this book up from the communal bookshelf in a friend's shared house to find it intensely annotated, with brightly coloured tabs on many pages, I was intrigued. I downloaded the audiobook for the drive home and found myself completely compelled by Chris and her journey, her honesty, her relationships and her tangents. As a filmmaker (though I make little of my own work, instead committing my time to assist others in making sunday night television and rap music videos) I like to think I have something in common with Chris, or at least we have a lot of shared interests. Her reflections on art and polite society were greatly entertaining, and her draw toward this mysterious academic man being so intertwined with revitalising her fading relationship with her husband made for a complex and fascinating story.
