Although the commonality of his themes from his earlier '50s works get kinda repetitive. But now that I'm almost out of PKD freebies, I might have to actually spend some $ to download his other stuff.

Oh, and major bonus, I inadvertantly downloaded Second Variety, not realizing it was the story upon which Screamers was based until I started reading it. Along with Blade Runner, it's my fave-fave PKD movie adaptation and a highly under-appreciated film.

I have the Philip K. Dick collection with all of his novels and I do have all or most of his short stories downloaded but out of all my novels A Maze Of Death blew me away the most I absolutely loved it if you haven't checked it out I implore you to do so.

The Man in the High Castle • The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch • Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? • Ubik • Martian Time-Slip • Dr. Bloodmoney • Now Wait for Last Year • Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said • A Scanner Darkly • A Maze of Death • VALIS • The Divine Invasion • The Transmigration of Timothy Arche
