I like vintage sci fi. Phillip Dick is a favorite.

Its amazing how many of his unknown short stories became major movies.

I don't know for absolute fact this is true but I read the other day that only Stephen King has had more stories made into movies. I'm a huge PKD fan and I'm kinda sorta rereading Scanner Darkly when I let the battery in my Kindle go dark and had to go to analog backup...

Meanwhile I'm truly enjoying the Monster Hunter International series by Larry Correia. Fantasy like it used to be.

Anyone who sneers at science fiction doesn't know Dick.
