Sci-Fi Summer

This summer I am going all out and reading only science fiction/fantasy. I always claim to love the genre but haven't read enough of it to silence its many detractors. Also, I may go back to school next term and won't have time for such luxuries.

I started off with a painful, difficult book The Void Captain's Tale by Norman Spinrad.

"But despite these appearances, I sensed that the void within me, that black hole of confusion which had somehow been bored through my weltanschauung, had finally begun to fracture the phenomenological realm precisely at its point of greatest ambiguity - the sexual interface where psyche and soma could no longer be dualized."

And on and on in that vein. But I finished it and I think I understood some of the most obvious points.
