Phillifent & Dick

I've tried reading two different S/F novels today. Neither kept my attention. Oh sure, they have some interesting ideas, and they would be worth reading while on the airplane. However, as I am not a captive audience, and I refuse to waste my time, I shut them both.

John T. Phillifent's Genius Unlimited
Philip K. Dick's We Can Build You

Neither one grabbed me or rocked my world. Dick's book started out really fascinating--a strong hook and draw in that lasted. I read to page 60 even though it started to die out about 15 or 20 pages earlier. You know, wanted to give that book more of a shot.

Oh well.

No go.
