Typically weird Philip K. Dick stuff. I'm curious to see how this finishes. I've also heard rumors this book is optioned for a movie.

Does the Bible count?
I've stopped reading for a while and been wanting to go back soon. Not sure what book to read, though. Still searching...
What do ya like to read?
I recently read: "Man in the high Castle" by Philip K Dick It's a typical Dick book, Sci-fi dystopian alternate future story. The Nazis won WW2 and basically have control if the world with the Japanese, one man's struggle journey in it.
Currently reading "All the Pretty Horses" by Cormac McCarthy. Good book so far, I like his books.

I would recommend
I haven't read that one but I hear it's interesting.
I finished Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said... It was decent but not one of his best.
Next, I'm thinking of reading UBIK

That's what I plan on reading next of Dick's
Good book, but did seem to lose itself a bit in the latter chapters.I would recommend
Read this recently and it was fantastic.
Just started this one and so far it is flowing nicely.

I pretty much jump around from one King book to the next. The Stand is my favorite book of all times. Last thing I read (all the way through) was "Under the Dome". Great book SUCKY tv series. MHO.
The ending of Under the Dome felt kind of flat. Like King was phishing for a good ironic ending but gave up.
I would have liked to see Big Jim wind up in Shawshank being bullied by the warden and guards.

exactly; the ending was a reach, for sure. Shawshank for Big Jim would have been great. He'd end up "preaching" to the inmates.
Finishing up this . Its been on the backburner for a bit.

Im going to be reading Forever war. I hear its the best military sci fi novel next to starship
troopers.
And yes I do read a lot more than just science fiction. But sometimes you just get the bug and have to crack open some Asimov or Dick, AM I RITE!

Looks good, got to check this out.Typically weird Philip K. Dick stuff. I'm curious to see how this finishes. I've also heard rumors this book is optioned for a movie.
Does anyone enjoy reading a lot of news from Cnn.com/BBC.com/etc. including blogs? I've found myself quite enjoy reading other people's opinion/share feeling toward something. It gives me a bigger point-view of how/what the world is like outside my life.
I recently finished Wool. I enjoyed it, but I also agree that it completely lost its way during the second half. I recommended it to a friend and he couldn't finish it.
I also finished the Ex-Heroes trilogy. If you like the idea of a zombie/superhero mash-up, you will like these books. They are entertaining in a Hollywood summer movie sort of way.
Also, I can't recommend Ready Player One enough, particularly if you have any affinity for 80's movies, video games and pop culture. They're already working on the movie, last I heard.
