I just finished reading Ubik by PKD.
And within 4 years he will see things you wouldn’t believe.
Was it good?
I enjoyed it. It’s not too long, and I’d recommend it.
Thanks.
Anytime. If you enjoy SciFi, I also recommend Robert A Heinlein.
I’m not a huge reader because it’s hard for me to focus on one thing for very long in that kind of format, but I enjoy visuals...movies and videos plus also listening to music, etc. I want to really try to start reading more. I have read some sci-fi books...mostly when I was a teen in highschool, and I really enjoyed the ones I read.
Phillip K Dick has quite a few good short stories. You’re never too old to enjoy scifi. It makes you wonder again...dream about things.
Short is good for me!
Heh heh... no replicants in sight. Thanks beaversmom.
The movie and the book share some character names, that’s about it. And it probably goes without saying that the book kicks the crap out of the movie. That said, as bad as the movie is, I’ve watched it perhaps 100 times, and having seen this, I’ll probably watch it again, starting in about ten minutes. See if I can stay awake...
Enjoy.
I posted a similar article last night
I love the movie. It’s one of those I can always watch. Have fun. Say hey to Roy and gang.
I just wandered around YouTube looking at old clips, like that one of Holden in the life support tube. :’)
