Are the Phillip K. Dick books as cool as his movies? I've never read his books, but I'm a huge fan of most of the movies that he inspired.

Guys, please give me your top 3-5 of his books that you read and enjoyed the most, TIA.

Only three of his I've read I think, but I liked them all a lot and in that order.

Man in the High Castle is stunning.

As a huge fan of the film Bladerunner - I must say that film far exceeded Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - and the book and film in that situation bear only superficial similarities with each other.
