Current state of mind:
Drive the novel was so so good.
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is good but very peculiar at times. I like the Blade Runner movies better. And that’s a first for me.

Chester Himes: A Pioneering Voice in African American Literature
ARTICLE – MINI BIOGRAPHY – WRITER

Born on July 29, 1909, in Jefferson City, Missouri, Himes was raised in a middle-class home. This upbringing was notably ordinary until a dramatic event altered the course of his life.

It takes a while for us to realise that our lives have no plot. At first we imagine ourselves into great struggles of darkness and light, heroes in our Levi’s or pajamas, impervious to the gravity that pulls down all others. Later on we contrive scenes in which the world’s events circle like moons about us - like moths about our porch lights. Then at last, painfully, we begin to understand that the world doesn’t even acknowledge our existence. We are the things that happen to us, the people we’ve known, nothing more.

Percy Jackson is better than Harry Potter because he RESPECTS the woman who brought him into this world. Harry doesn’t give a fucking shit about his mom, unless it’s to use her memory to help him reach his goals(chapter 22 of Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince). He finds out his father was a sexual assaulting bully(chapter 28 of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix), and rather than deciding to honor his mother, the woman who is described as being an impossibly good person by everyone except his abusive relatives, the woman who defeated lord voldemort on Halloween 1981/saves Harry’s life multiple times even after her death, he still obsesses over his dad. Percy is the son of a god, a god who was a deadbeat. He knows his father was a bad person, and that his step dad is a verbally/financially abusive prick, but that his mother is a good person, so he honors her, even praying to her, a mortal woman, rather than his godly father. He proclaims that he is Sally Jackson’s son, not Poseidons, a man who was never there.
Harry Potter is a disrespectful, sexist little bastard. Percy is a good son to his mother.
