Philip K Dick

[micgtr71]

This summer I revisited Philip K Dick. I had read a number of his short stories and novels in my youth. This summer, I read Voices From the Street and In Milton Lumky Territory. I also read some of his short stories that were available on the kindle. Great stuff. Right now, I am reading A Scanner Darkly. Great stuff.

 

Any other fans out there?

I've only read The Man in the High Castle and The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch...liked them both a lot.

Nice! Man in the High Castle is on my list.

^ I really liked that one. Surprised at how different it was from Blade Runner. When I read it, I found a paperback copy that had the BR movie poster and title. I reread it a few years back and enjoyed it more knowing that it was inspiration and that the film was not meant to have a direct connection.

I read the first edition copy that my library has...I was tempted to steal it because apparently the first edition of the book is worth a little money

That would be very tempting.

of course, none of the librarians even seem to realize that they have a real treasure on their hands
