    Philip K. Dick was a freaking genius. Hollywood changes a lot of what they do based on his books, and actually the results are still compelling. I've read many of his books and they are phenomenal.

    No apologies are necessary. I'm glad you are feeling better since you first posted. Progress feels nice, doesn't it? :cheerleader:

    Welcome WillowLily (that's pretty). I hope you enjoy it here.

    Quite so, He is one of the very few authorsI know of whose works nearly entirely all have one overarching theme, that theme being "What is reality?" The fact that he himself was strongly schizophrenic for most of his life was a major influence here. He used his mental issues to express his art and we are all the better for it. He was also one of the founders of the sf subgenre of alternate history

    Consider:

    2) Happiness is an Illusion.

    I love talking about books.

    What sort of things do you like? And tell us about a couple of your faves, if you wouldn't mind.
