Like Dixie Flatline, I'll list my favorite Philip Dick books then a few others
1. Ubik, Philip Dick. His best book, working his classic theme of "what is real".
2. A Scanner Darkly, Philip Dick. A drug-user's descent into madness.
3. Zap Gun, Philip Dick. His funniest book, featuring weapons design as fashion industry and a hilarious conspiracy theorist.
4. A Perfect Spy, John le Carre. Writing about his own father, his best book in my opinion.
5. Moby Dick, Hermann Melville. Call me a twat or whatever, but this is just marvellous writing. Have read it a dozen times.
