Finished it. Loved the ending.
Hey, Randy.Have you managed to watch the TV adaptation of TMinHC yet? I enjoyed it, despite the deviations from the book. I think they kept a lot of PKD's feel and core concepts.
Also wondering if you've reread DADoES yet? If so, did it match up to your memory of reading it the first time around?

Hey Michael,
I haven't seen TMitHC yet - I don't have Hulu and I don't watch a lot of TV anyway except for sports and movies and The Walking Dead. I'm going to get to it though...someday....
And I think I'm going to get to DADoES next month, so I can finish it in time for the Blade Runner movie sequel.
I gave up on the second series of TMitHC - as much as I enjoyed the first, the second just didn't engage me.I'm sure you'll enjoy reading DADoES - it's excellent :-)
yes this book is truly amazing. i especially love how it through me through such a complete loop and then blew my mind unlike any other book has that i have read in my entire life. simply brilliant!!
I started reading Ubik a few days ago. I read it about 20 years ago but couldn't remember it well so decided to try a re-read. I should be done in a couple weeks. I don't like to read PKD fast because I miss too much, I like to read about 10 pages a night or so.
My favorite PKD books are The Man in the High Castle (I need to watch some of the TV show) and A Scanner Darkly. I also liked Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? but that was the first PKD I read more than 25 years ago so I am going to re-read when I get a chance. I read Radio Free Albemuth and liked it, also read The Game Players of Titan and Vulcan's Hammer which were both OK but not favorites. PKD's short story collection I Hope I Shall Arrive Soon was excellent.
