    <H1><CITE>Time Out Of Joint</CITE> by Philip K. Dick</H1>

    <H2>(discussed May 15, 2003)</H2>

    <P><STRONG>On a ten-point scale (1=bad, 10=good), the people who
      read the book gave the following ratings:</STRONG> <?php
      showVotes(); ?><BR>
      <STRONG>Average:</STRONG> <?php echo(voteAverage()); ?></P>

    <P>Here's <STRONG>Ignacio</STRONG>'s report on the meeting,
      slightly edited:</P>

      <P>People were very happy to know they could give half points to
        me. ;-) Simms changed his score after the comment of TC that
        he was not scoring the book against other PKD books, but the
        rest of the crap we usually read, and after learning that John
        gave it a 9. John's reasons for a 9 were that the book
        perfectly captures the paranoia lived in USA in the 50's, and
        it wasn't a 10 for the dismal ending. Nobody liked the ending
        much.</P>

      <P>To me the book was a bit disappointing because I expected
        more of the usual craziness Dick puts in his books: talking
        fungi, aliens, spaceships, etc.</P>

/*
      <P>I'm not sure why Chris did give it such a low score,
        something to do with her mood.</P>
