That sounds really interesting. Is it a good book?

I just started it....I’m going to have to say it’s got some racist remarks and stuff that you find in older books.....originally published in 1971.....plus the whole idea of psychiatry back then was the analyst which is totally different than today. Have not gotten to the dice part yet. Probably wouldn’t recommend just due to the racism etc. I just got sucked in by the concept.

Ah that’s a shame. Yeah I don’t think I could deal with that. Yeah it’s a good concept, shame it was written so long ago, maybe a modern version would be good.

Yeah it is.....I hadn’t considered the possibility before I bought it, unfortunately.
