OMG THIS BOOK.Haha okay just to set the scene, I'm reviewing here when I read it, like, a decade ago. Back in the day when I was studying psychology and thought this would be fascinating.But it was SO WEIRD YO.Basically this guy live his life by rolling die to make decisions. I liked the idea and the implications but the actual context got batsh*t insane and from what I recall he was having messy, graphic affairs and basically devolving into an absolutely disgusting excuse for a human being. ItRandomI can't believe I actually finished this book. It's considered a cult classic and with my eclectic reading choices, I would always give something like this a chance. I wish the dice had landed differently 😂.I suppose at times we all wonder what it would be like to be totally unpredictable and random, so I thought this could be a great premise for a book.

SPOILER LEVEL: Moderate.I met an interesting girl at a party once. Certainly not the worlds most unique of circumstances, but what drew my interest to her was what drew me to this book.There this person stood, drink in hand and no stranger to hobbies branded as unusual. She it turned out was a contortionist and juggling extraordinaire. But most fascinating of all, she referred to herself as The Dice Lady. My eyes darted to her ears where the sides of a mutilated die punched holes and mutilated
I am pretty sure 37v2 has used this method of decision-making for years, whereas others posit 40v2 and chaos theory. (view spoiler)[ Bettie's Books (hide spoiler)]
My feelings are best summarised by these quote from one of the characters in the book: You know this hospital is a farce, but tragic, sufferinga tragic farce. You know there are nuts running this placenuts!not even counting you! [...] You know what American racism is. You know what the war in Vietnam is. And you toss dice! You toss dice!! [...]Im leaving. Thanks for the pot, thanks for the silences, thanks even for the games, but dont say another word about tossing your fucking dice, or Ill kill
