I just finished reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick today (the inspiration for Blade Runner). Pretty good, but I was a little disappointed. A Scanner Darkly is probably my favorite book ever, and it's because of the way the ending tugged at my emotions. This one didn't really do that... it came close, but the endings to A Scanner Darkly and We Can Build You (albeit identical) were incredible, and this one fell short. They were all written by the same guy, btw.
So... good books, GO! Old ones, new ones, favorite authors, who needs to come back to life and write more (Vonnegut you feeble old bastard ;_; )... all that stuff.
Another Philp K Dick fan hey! I've been a fan of Philip K Dick for years. Read so many of his stories, he just amazes me in his writing. The first story I ever read was Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. I got it in the Minority Report Short Stories collection, but my favoutite in that would have to be. Second Variety. I thought it was great.
Have you ever read Valis by Philip K Dick?
If so what did you think of it?
