> Dick's genius was recognized only after his death.

Which we should give credit for: I only found PKD due to Jonathan Lethem's advocacy. PKD fans are likely to enjoy Lethem's sci-fi, especially Gun, With Occasional Music.

The crew of writers responsible for elevating PKD from pulp to cult deserve some attention, especially from PKD fans (aka "Dick-heads", which is just the most perfect name for a fandom).

> I'd like to see something from Heinlein before he had the stroke like The Moon is a Harsh Mistress

Plus one for The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. That's probably the best of Heinlein's work.




Very rarely can I say with all sincerity "I am a Dick-Head"
