Give a Scanner Darkly a go..it's worth it.Dick is the one of the very best of SF writers and his work just doesn't date.It's a tragedy that he died in his prime and before his genius was recognised.In fact after HG Wells I can't think of another SF author who has had more of his books turned into films ( badly done in some cases).

I've just been persuaded to give the Mythago Woods books away to a good home by my husband...Thinking I should be giving him away to a good home instead now.
