Comment Philip K Dick and other authors... (Score 1) 1485
Don't settle for reading the same crappy sci-fi and fantasy titles bandied about here. Try something new...
What is real? Philip K Dick discusses at length. Some of his bests include: A Scanner Darkly, Flow My Tears The Policeman Said, and Ubik.
As for fiction I can heartily recommend The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon (especially if you like comic books). Suttree and/or Blood Meridian (the best most violent depiction of the wild west) by Cormac McCarthy. Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier.
Non-fiction: Everything You Know Is Wrong and You Are Being Lied To. Uncover the conspiracy!
Poetry: Big Backyard by Michael Teig -- yeah, he's my friend. Nothing wrong with promoting your friends work. Check out Jubilat for a modern poetry magazine.
