Culture of Narcissism sounds interesting...

Lasch proposes that since World War II, America has produced a personality-type consistent with clinical definitions of "pathological narcissism". This pathology is not akin to everyday narcissism, a hedonistic egoism, but with clinical diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder. For Lasch, "pathology represents a heightened version of normality."[3] He locates symptoms of this personality disorder in the radical political movements of the 1960s (such as the Weather Underground), as well as in the spiritual cults and movements of the 1970s, from est to Rolfing.

Robert Christopher Lasch (June 1, 1932 – February 14, 1994) was an American historian, moralist and social critic who was a history professor at the University of Rochester. He sought to use history to demonstrate what he saw as the pervasiveness with which major institutions, public and private, were eroding the competence and independence of families and communities. Lasch strove to create a historically informed social criticism that could teach Americans how to deal with rampant consumerism, proletarianization, and what he famously labeled "the culture of narcissism".

Lasch was always a critic of modern liberalism and a historian of liberalism's discontents, but over time, his political perspective evolved dramatically. In the 1960s, he was a neo-Marxist and acerbic critic of Cold War liberalism. During the 1970s, he combined certain aspects of cultural conservatism with a left-leaning critique of capitalism, and drew on Freud-influenced critical theory to diagnose the ongoing deterioration that he perceived in American culture and politics. His writings are sometimes denounced by feminists[7] and hailed by conservatives[8] for his apparent defense of a traditional conception of family life.

Hm, now I'm actually interested in the gambler and the culture of narcissism.

I'll go read those instead of the Reddit-tier sci-fi.

@pillowprincess just rig the votes so those win.

Blade Runner is such a great movie, but I watched it with a girl on a 2nd date and Harrison Ford drops the N-word with a hard r without skipping a beat in the first five minutes of the movie

Did not go over well with the super lefty b-word but she turned out to be a b-word later so just kind of funny really

So my vote is for the book the movie is based off of

Guys, Kafka on the Shore is really great and it has ghost s*x for all the coomers out there.

Cant not vote for PKD. Guy was a prophet in his own right. A Scanner Darkley was my favorite of his

>so what I'm going to do is veto The Gambler

I was excited for it . Now it's going to be Peepee's shit that everyone's already read.

This has made me more mad than any bait I've seen here so far.

I'm hesitant to declare The Gambler as the winner bc most of the votes were clearly by the g**mblers and not by bookclub members , so what I'm going to do is veto The Gambler, move forward w/ the runner-ups, and let y'all choose between them in one final voting thread

thank you queen. My drama coins are still gone, but at least the book club still has its integrity

FWIW, Do Androids Dream… is a really interesting book that differs wildly from the movie. There's a really interesting religious subplot (Mercerism) that folds into the conception of what is real and what is our perception of real / valuable.
