I too, like dicks.

literally the only sci-fi writer worth reading, that's including Le Guin who was actually his 'dead' twin and also a parallel manifestation of the same consciousness.
>>
>>7415510
That's not true though. Try reading before you post on /lit/, there's a good boy.
>>
>>7415447
He's shit, OP.
>>
>>7415522
name 2 more sci-fi authors worth reading
>>
I've been reading The Man in the High Castle for a seminar. It's the first thing I've really read by him and it's a lot of fun. It's a lot better than I expected.

What works of his should I read next? Should I try to read everything?
>>
>>7415710
Asimov, Simak, Clarke, some of Bradbury's short stories are good
>>
>>7415725
>asimov
>clarke
>bradbury

havent read simak but judging by the company you put him in...
>>
>>7415720
Ubik
Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch

Flow my Tears
A Scanner Darkly

Really everything by him desu senpai. Those are just the ones I've read.

>>
>>7415720
having read 20 of his 44 novels, here are my personal favorites

valis
now wait for last year
scanner darkly
three stigmata
transmigration of timothy archer
deus irae
lies inc. (incredibly sloppy, but worth it imo. the protag is tripping on LSD for half the book)

didn't get the hype on ubik or electric sheep
>>
>>7415798
moorcock is trash but yeah

i guess you win
>>
>>7415710
Delany
>>
>>7415447
Scanner Darkly is the tightest plot
Androids has so many concepts
Valis and Ubik should be read together
Deus Irae is a shit-show
Stigmata of Timothy Archer....not so much.
