Just finished Annihilation, Book 1 in this trilogy. Very good read. In fact, I only started it this morning 
Going to pick up the next two asap.
Found this in a charity shop the other day for 20p:
Read it in one go this morning. Didnāt realise how different from the film it is.

Very, but probably more relevant/predictive in some ways.

Heās a brilliant author - some of his books are tremendous and some are a total mind-fuck A Scanner Darkly is mental.

Cheers for that, Iāll seek them out.
I had a decent collection of classic Sci-Fi a few years ago and tried to find the best paperback editions as they have some superb artwork on the covers but had to sell most of it when I got divorced 
However, I couldnāt bear to part with my Harlan Ellison short story collections so if you come across any of his stuff buy them - failing that I can lend you them I think youād like him as well.

Those are the ones that started me on PKD. Thereās another two volumes of short stories, too. I spent my uni days hunting down his novels (some were quite hard to find at the time). The best science fiction author bar none.

It is. That, Valis, and A Scanner Darkly nearly made my head explode.

Cheers Coco - I meant to amend my post to include the other two volumes but got sidetracked.

These three are fucking bonkers. I think he was losing touch with reality when he wrote them.

To be honest I donāt think my reason for reading Philip K Dick was the steadfastness of his grip on reality. In fact, come to think of it, it was probably the exact opposite.
