"The Man in the High Castle by Philip K Dick. Any good? " I enjoyed it, starts a bit slow but just gets better as it goes. I've not seen the TV show but I might give it a go. Think I'll read some more of his too, though I think the others are more Sci fi. | |||

" Love PKD, can be quite out there though, the guy experimented heavily with LSD etc, and not surprised he ended up writing as he did. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep which became Bladerunner a good example. I like some Alastair Reynolds, I’m quite a sci fi nerd as well as book geek, The Passage by Justin Cronin was a masterpiece. Bill Bryson always a chuckle and love Worst.Person.Ever by Douglas Copeland. John Niven Kill your friends also a scream... I could go on to be honest xx | |||

Also whilst The adjustment team is only a PKD short story, the film the adjustment bureau is one of my favourite films. While I’m still banging on, love Phillip Kerr Bernie Gunther novels. Brilliant and so well researched, If the dead rise not, and Prague fatale my faves x | |||

I read less than I used to as I lack the attention span now so it's great to find books that really make me want to read them. | |||
