Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 204 class. The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start conversations before we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing/reading on a weekly basis in an informal forum.

I am actually reading "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" and I am realizing that it is one of the most complex book I have ever read. I need to pause, meditate and re-read to understand the paragraphs.I must admit that Philip K. Dick is a visionary. He plays with what could happens if radio-actives have ruined a big part of the Earth. It is fiction at first sight but on the other hand he is not wrong. It could be realistic. K. Dick wrote with humor on how people would react in this extreme case. The society that we know today would suffer major changes and fighting to reach what we might think is "norm" would be even more harder and absurd.
