Just a hunch...<br /><br />The fact that you are actually interested in reading PKD has made me so happy. You have no idea, I am positively beaming right now. Blade Runner was of course adapted from "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" but the book is so much better. Don't get me wrong, the movie is still pretty darn great but I felt they changed too much and didn't stick with the books true vision. Most would probably say it is the best novel to start with but personally, I think "Scanner Darkly" is a little more accessible, gives you a much more vivid sense of his style and it stands as his most "polished" novel. It also happens to be his best, at least in my opinion.<br /><br />Total Recall is another great adaptation of his as well. That movie freaked the hell out me out as a kid. I am also surprised you like it so much, this is like a whole new side to you Cleo. :P<br /><br />Minority Report with Tom Cruise was pretty underrated. Have you seen that one by any chance?<br /><br />Ok, now you got me curious. I must know what movies and tv shows you like! Just don't tell me you are one of those closet Trekkies or Firefly fanatics...my head would explode.<br /><br />Jason Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334917645691982404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383119466961870537.post-79884468213624529122015-02-21T00:23:01.031-05:002015-02-21T00:23:01.031-05:00Sanderson intrigues me but I honestly can't sa...Sanderson intrigues me but I honestly can't say that I'll ever read him. Dick on the other hand, is different. I'd like to read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?. And I just LOVED the movie Total Recall, based on his book We Can Remember It For You Wholesale. ~~~ you'd probably be astounded at the types of movies/series I like to watch. There's quite a few that don't conform to my usual "classics" mode. :-)Cleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152128642971612433noreply@blogger.com
