Spectre X I love PKD too.

I still have that essay of his stored on my computer. Which one of you reccomended it to me again? It was awesome.

Dole I loved that story you told me about Harlan Ellison running after the bloke who didnt wash his hands after peeing in the airport toilet..

Philip K Dick is the only sci fi author as far as I am concerned...and I only have to get about 5 more novels before I HAVE THEM ALL!

KILLADEUCE Anyone ever heard of Harry Harrison- HE penned The Stainless Steel Rat and the Deathworld Trilogy... Some of my favorite books of all times, he also did a graphic novellette kinda thing that was so so (among many many other projects)

http://www.iol.ie/~carrollm/hh/booklist.htm#novels

<- above you can click on each entry for the book cover and a synopsis - I highly recommend checking out Deathworld #1 and Stainless Steel Rat #1 (Damn that guy kicked out the sequels...)

Have you read Dandelion Wine yet?

The_voice_of_reason I hate Kilgore Trout because he is supposedly based on Theodore Sturgeon, whom I enjoy very much.
